Can someone who knows rifles better than I do (read: all of you) explain why the 6.5 Creedmoor is a good option? Is it a silencer thing? I always thought the benefit of the 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC rounds (the "6" AR rounds I am familiar with to this point) was fitting a heavier bullet into an AR-15 sized platform.
