120/123 .264” vs 147 recoil?

That's the problem with 100-110 grain loads in a 6.5mm. The equivalent 6mm cartridge starts to make a whole heck of a lot of sense.

Yup.
If they offered a factory 6 Creed I would have went with it but I already have a .243 and didn’t want another.

I will say a benefit of the lighter 6.5 projectiles is they are easier to find during shortages. Not as many guys are after them. I shot my Grendel a lot during covid because 123 eldm was easy to find and cheap. I couldn’t find a lot of the heavy 6 or 6.5 projectiles for friends/family that needed them.
