As I already stated, in an AR platform, I feel it is a fantastic hog cartridge. Probably even better than my preferred 6.8SPC which I have downed well over 1000 hogs with. But there are a lot of folks under the complete and utterly ridiculous false belief that it is a long range HUNTING cartridge.
I think your thinking of the 6.5 Grendel? It is designed for the AR15. The Creed is basically a 22-250 ack necked to 6.5mm so it would fit in an AR10.

I like the 6mm Creed since it's close to a .243 win but factory rifles are being produced with fast twist tubes...
