[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4599955, member: 12277"] Yeah it's a fine cartridge but the hype gets a bit out of control sometimes. Same for all this ultra long range shooting. I get a bit tired of all the talk of how a rifle has to have at least $2,000 of custom parts in it before it's considered acceptable to hunt with. The truth of the matter is that you could build a rifle in either 6.5x55 or 260 Remington and get most of the advantages of a 6.5 Creedmoor if you built it to the same specs, i.e. twist rate, chamber and throat dimensions, etc. Of course the gun industry has to push new products to make money so they jump on any trends they see developing to push sales as far as possible. If everybody bought a 270 and hunted with it for life we might not have but one rifle manufacturer to select from because they'd all be broke! :) [/QUOTE]
