When the 6.5 Creedmoor first came out I

read the specs on it and read the info some gun writers were spouting like "shooting flat out to 800 yards" and other figments of their imagination.

But now there is another Creedmoor that will be written up by the same gun writers as the finest cartridge to ever be released.
Here are some of the claims that are in full page ads. Are you ready? Do you have your boots on, as the shit gets deep in this ad.
"At 600 yards the 22 Creedmoor is almost 600 fps faster than the 22-250"

Next.."At 1000 yards the 22 Creedmoor has almost 12 FEET less drop than the 220 Swift"

Next..."At 600 yards the 22 Creedmoor has over 24 inches less wind drift than the 22-250 in a 10 mph wind."

Next..."At 1000 yards the 22 Creedmoor has enough kinetic energy for hunting deer".

So here is the cartridge you guys have been looking for. Now you can shoot deer at 1000 yards and only hold over around 12 feet.

The problem I see here is the cartridge is probably a decent cartridge, just like the 6.5 Creedmoor is a decent cartridge, so why all the total BS hype? Let the cartridge sell on it's own merits. If it is a good cartridge then it will sell and be known as a good small game cartridge. If it is not a decent cartridge then all the hype and all the BS in the world won't help it to sell. Besides that in several states a 22 caliber cartridge is illegal for deer, with the 243 being the smallest one can hunt deer with. And in my opinion that should hold true in every state where they hunt deer. Just the opinion of a handgun hunter.

My dear old grey haired Daddy once told me "you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit". Thru the years I have found that to be true.
The opinion above is simply mine, not to be confused with that of a normal human being.
