The only difference is I'm a contrarian.

Never bite the hand that feeds you…."It's only gay if you push back." -Ryan Avery, probably
What “good 1000yard cartridge” are you considering that has better barrel life? Have you actually shot out a barrel? I mean, you could use a 308 and have great barrel life. What kind of barrel life are you looking for?Is there anything that anyone`s happened upon, short of " Just don`t shoot it so often " , that might extend barrel life at least some with the 6.5 Creed? Maybe a shooting routine? 95% of my rifle shooting is at the range. Currently investigating options for a new factory 1K yard gun. The ONLY drawback to 6.5 CM that I`ve seen for that use is barrel life. That`s my ONLY hesitation with 6.5.

"pretty much most people who wanted one have it."
Hell I didn't really want one and have 4.
People bout giving them away as their excuse as to why they can't kill deer.
I have no willpower to pass on a good shooting cheap rifle.
3 here. I've got 3 boys, 2 that hunt and one that I'm sure will when he's old enough. My wife mentioned last week we need to look for another safe because the one we have is going to be full sooner than later. I've not encountered anything in the South East that I wouldn't shoot with a 6.5 creedmoor in 34 years of living here."pretty much most people who wanted one have it."

Good luck finding that ammo in a store.I have no reason for exact redundancy in a cartridge. The closest cartridges I have are a 6.5x47 that my wife shoots and a 260AI that I shoot.
The 260AI runs 300fps faster with similar barrel length and bullet weight. The 6.5x47 runs the same velocity as my buddy’s 6.5 Creed.

2 of mine have short barrels and stay in trucks. So cheap I won't cry if they get stolen.
3rd one I carry occasionally. 4th has adjustable length of pull and lady friend uses it.
As your username suggests, a 7mm-08 at one time was a staple in our safe. I had as many as 5 7mm-08 rifles at 1 time. I'll always have one because they work perfectly fine but since this is about 6.5 creedmoor I haven't found anything my 6.5's won't do that my 7mm-08 won't do. Their perfectly fit for how I hunt in South Georgia with shots 300 yards and in. Then again about 80% of cartridges will work for me.I'm not certain the 6.5 Creedmoor is losing steam quickly. It's still a very popular cartridge.

I still like my 7mm-08s better. Especially the BLRs that we play with. Lady friend keeps threatening to take a bandsaw to one of the BLR stocks, but I then threaten to add the stock spacers and take her 7mm-08 micro midas.As your username suggests, a 7mm-08 at one time was a staple in our safe.
