I have nothing against the 6.5 CM. It is just that it is highly over-rated in my opinion.
The 6.5 Creedmoor is a cartridge which offers nothing over the 6.5 Swedish, other than a shorter overall length at the expense of increased chamber pressure. In this regard it has the same relationship as .308 to .30-06.
Yet, it's being hyped as the ultimate in modern long range ballistics, even though those ballistics are over a century old.
The ability to use it in short actions is touted, yet it is frequently seen in heavy rifles with huge scopes, which completely negates that advantage.
Some claim that it's short overall length makes it an absolute necessity because it can be used in AR platforms, yet few seem to bother.
I just find it amusing how so many 6.5 CM gurus get so bent out of shape when you disagree with them.
Sorry, but it is not a sacred cow.
You did ask.....
