Then buy a 6mm, something. CM is a marketing JOKE.
The 6,5 CM is just the 100 year old 250-3000.
The joke is on you if you fall for this crap.
I don't think I would necessarily call it a marketing joke. If the 25-3000 was such a saweeet cartridge it should of taken off, unfortunately for Savage hardly anyone has heard of it. I would call the Creedmoor a marketing success if anything, the exposure and sales I would assume have easily surpassed that of the 25-3000.
Sure the CM is newer, more "popular" and liked as well as, disliked by many. BUT there is a performance gap that it is filling. There is a functional application people are using it for, thus the demand, thus the interest, thus the popularity.
IF it exceeds my positive experience that I've had with my 22-250's, I'll gladly expose the results based on kills, not paper holes, or chrono readings.
The F150 is a great truck, it's got it's place. BUT is the Raptor a marketing joke? Na... because there is a market, an application, and it's functional to many people who actually use it.
