Nothing can be quantified as being the best in regards to cartridge selection because everything about it is based on personal preference. You can say one is the best in total distance possible to fling a projectile, one is best in sending energy down range (neither of which would be considered a hunting cartridge), one can say the best cartridge in terms of recoil, action length, efficiency, noise, ballistic co-efficient, cost of ammo, availability of ammo, popularity, rareness, looks, smell, whatever, it's all personal preference.
What we're talking about here is what sets the 6.5 Creedmoor above most cartridges in its class. Most aspects have been covered in this thread, but in all honesty if you were to list the pros and cons of every cartridge ever developed, the Creedmoor would be high up in the rankings, all things considered of course.
