Not hearing anyone saying they are going with 6.5 Creedmoor. No longer the sexy new round? I’m not one to jump on new cartridges, but it’s obvious the 6.5 isn’t new anymore and it’s not going anywhere, so it’s time for me to get one.
Just not sure on barrel length. I have 16 and 18” 308s, but I’m thinking the 6.5CM needs at least 22”. I want to get the performance of the round, but still want to keep it short enough not to be cumbersome with a suppressor. Any recs from anyone?

That's what mine is. I feel 22 is the perfect compromise between velocity and handling when running a suppressor.
I too seem to have noticed the creed may be reaching market saturation. That and the new 65 prc has people really excited as of today.

I went 6.5 creed, Garrett said that 20 inch barrel would work great with a suppressor.

Thanks for the responses. Good to know that on the 20” Texas 007.
