The bolt-action centerfire rifle world is broadly split into three categories. Long, medium, and short actions. Medium-action BA rifles are usually chambered for the largest and most powerful cartridges such as the .375 Holland and Holland and the .300 Remington Ultra Magnum round. However, most common rifles are available in short- and long-action models.
The long-action concept was popularized by the venerable 30-06 round, and it is still popular to this day. However, it was the .308 Winchester round which ensured that the short-action BA rifle truly came into its own. The 6.5 Creedmoor is also a short-action round that has been designed for long-range accuracy and stopping power. In many ways, it is considered to be the 20th-century .308 Winchester cartridge’s 21st-century successor.
In fact, the U.S. Special Forces Command (USSOCOM) has thoroughly checked and vetted the performance of the 6.5 Creedmoor round. They have been impressed enough to declare it the top choice for their upcoming generation of light machine guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifle configurations.
