For over 95% of people out there, it doesn't do anything others can't but that doesn't mean I'm against it. Any new cartridges that get people shooting are good in my book but if someone can tell me something I can't do with a 6.5 Swede or 7mm Mauser that the Creedmoor can I'd like to hear it beside 1,000yrd target practice which most of us don't do anyways.
I'm also going to go in for all the belted ammo rounds. Can't see any need for them at all but the 300 H&H Mag is just so cool....
Then again, if you can't get it done with a 308 or 30-06 then you need more practice.
