I don't have any 6.5's in my safe.....yet!...but this may be the year. I too have been researching which one it will be...been leaning toward the 6.5 Creedmoor but have yet to make any decisions. I am anxiously awaiting Nosler's reveal of the the 26 Nosler at SHOT this week. I really like the SD/BC of the 6.5's and not sure why I don't have one yet....I currently have 3 7mm's....a 7mm Mag, a 7/08 and a 7x57....I hunted one year with the 7 Mag and just found it unpleasant to shoot when considering the benefit...in my opinion my 308, 270 and 270WSM would all do everything I was asking of my 7 Mag does with less recoil. I recently acquired the 7/08 and load development looks promising, but I haven't hunted with it. The 7x57 is a right handed rifle that was passed down and I've never shot it, but have friends that really enjoy them.
