What makes a creedmoor a creedmoor

It’s the definitive line between generations: Boomers and Zoomers.

The 6.5 Creedmoor was initially developed as a target round, but it was soon discovered that it made recoil sensitive hunters feel good about themselves. It is believed by some to possess mythical qualities, but others have difficulty speaking the word without grimacing. There appears to be a correlation between a certain hip hair style and the belief that it is an effective long range elk hunting round. Never-the-less the name is cool, which is what makes a Creedmoor a Creedmoor.- Webster1


1. Possibly not the Webster you are thinking.

Whatever the origination, the Creed created thousands of super accurate rifles, and riflemen that could shoot them more accurately than possible. All the while hammering elk at any yardage they were found at. mtmuley

I feel smug whenever “six five creedmoor” rolls off my tongue accompanied by a smirk and a twinkling eye. It signals to the right crowd the hipness of my only high power rifle, while simultaneously earning me a couple idiot points in everyone else’s book.

So “what makes a creedmoor a creedmoor”? Literally nothing as far as ballistic uniqueness goes. Many nearly identical cartridges existed before it did.

Much like Creedmoors, no one's got love for millennials.

I don’t even have to take ammo with me hunting. I hike up the hill with the Creed and critters fall dead. Then everyone hates me for it.

Hooved animals tremble at the very thought of Creedmoor.

I have a rifle that all I have to do is unzip the case. Bam! mtmuley

I think I've got the family tree figured out. There's the 6.5 Man-Bun, the WSM Chin-Strap-Beard, the RUM Soul-Patch-Tribal-Bicep-Tattoo, .260-Reverse-Mullet, .270-Sideburns, .308-Regulation-Length-Moustache, and 30/06-Flat-Top. Something like that? Maybe I missed the Mashburn-Barista-Doc Holiday-Handlebar-Moustache, or the 6.5x47L Ironic-Thick-Rimmed-Glasses branches somewhere in there...

I'm just sad that the 6.5PRC-Retired-Dentist-Harley-Davidson-Rider moniker hasn't caught on yet.

Ha.

You missed me. I'm a .300 wby - sore shouldered, scope printed broke shooter.

I was trying to figure out something for the Weatherby shooters out there. The .300-I-Aim-On-Hair-To-1000 crew.

This should be a good one. IMO, the Creed gets its laser like trajectory and near mythical abilities by drawing power from the shooters manbun, beard oil and flat brim hat. Any time said shooter says 'brah', the effective range increases by 100 yards.

Hey! My wide brim hat blocks the glare of the sun, my beard oil makes my beard luxurious and wife”happy.” I’m starting to go bald so no man bun. ... damn it. My 6.5 Tikka T3x Wideland shoots Hornady factory ammo in 1/2 inch groups all day. What are the benefits of your nascar dad hat, and Vaseline? My guess is you’re hairodynamic too. Just messin!!!

I gotta get my steps in.

It just dawned on me this could be taken in a completely different way.

 

[Addicting]

I had one, but then my receding hair line forced me to change. Now I just shoot a 260 Ackley.

 

[Tradewind]

This is too easy

I thought it was named after Creedmoor Rifle Range in New York where a lot of the PRS stuff takes place. I realize this doesn't answer of what makes it a "Creedmoor" but I was told that's where Hornady came up with the name.

Here is the scoop. Site of probably the greatest victory by Americans in any shooting match ever.

Kind of an elitist Scottish Highlands Shooting Estate vibe going on there. Racist as all get out for sure, but great marketing nonetheless!

When I bought my Crèéd all of the trophy animals I was planning on hunting strolled on over to their local fwp office to have my tag taped to them. They know when season opens to just lay down and die for me to “harvest”. They will even let me tell everyone I shot every single one of them at 650 yards.
