You seem to be quite certain that I'm intent on not learning anything. Odd. Was it the misspelling bit? That was a genuine mistake. I took a 5 year or so break from the shooting community, and don't recall people talking up Creedmoor like it was God's gift to riflemen back in 2015. Clearly I've missed something.
I've seen stats that show they have 40% of the weight retention when comparing bullet to bullet. Is that limited to a single brand? Or is that generally true across the board to one extent or another? Am I correct in understanding that within say, 500-600m there will be little to no improvement in getting a hit, while suffering from reduced terminal performance? That's the big one for me.
As for roles, pretty much all of those fit. What I look for in .308/7.62 NATO is a general-purpose cartridge that has power and moderate accuracy at range. Something that can be used for close-range use (if need be) then pushed out to the 5-600m usage. I don't see Creedmoor filling that role, personally, but rather is a niche round for long-range shooting. Again, if I am in error on this, please let me know.
