Far superior off the shelf ammo than other 6mm offerings for LR work and speed for varmints. It’s here to stay. Is a great round that’s easy to load for. The 108 ELDM hammers small to medium critters. It’s low recoiling. Suppresses well. And is fairly easy to find. I’ve owned several. My daughter has one. We love it.

I used it to shoot a couple doe on Friday. One at 270yds the other at 290yds. There were 2 hits each, the bullet hitting them and them hitting the ground.

However most people asking that question (and obviously answering) don’t have enough of an understanding to actually answer it. No knock on those asking. You’re obviously trying to learn.
^Good explanation of it here.
I’ve got two custom bolt guns chambered in 6 Creed and love them. One 18” and one 26”. The 18” is pretty much my go to hunting rifle and rides around in the pickup most the time. Absolutely hammers deer, pigs, and coyotes. It’s killed a few pigs past 500. Great caliber option for most Texas game and great for younger shooters as well.
Another plus is that 6 Creed was one of the few calibers that factory ammo was still pretty readily available throughout Covid.

I own a couple .243’s and ammo already, so I won’t be buying a 6mm creed
But if I was looking to fill that gap (.223/.308) I would have consider one given the ammo is available. Especially for my wife and daughter.

What’s your favorite “midsize” round? Mine has been .270 with 130’s for past 20 years.
