250-3000 Savage --> 300 Savage --> 30 TC --> 6.5 Creedmoor
So not surprisingly, the 6.5 Creedmoor is easily formed by necking up and fire forming its "great uncle" - the 22-250 Rem.
The 6.5 really is nothing but a necked up, blown out 22-250, with a steep shoulder.
I do enjoy the 6.5 Creedmoor, just as I enjoy the 6.8spc or the 6.5 Grendel, or the Kawasaki 250cc Ninja I picked up a few years ago... Compared to my Hayabusa or my Daytona 955i, the little Ninja 250 is nothing but a toy, but it's lighter, and gets better mileage for toodling down the road to the grocers. Compared to the 7mm-300, 338 Edge, 300 Rum, the 6.5 is a short range pop gun, but it doesn't recoil as much, require as much rifle weight, or burn as much powder, so it's fun to practice LR shooting, when knock down power isn't a requirement.
