[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2689420, member: 105681"] Nralirer over the past 25 years I too have gone to the 308 win. Which is crazy because I started my deer hunting career with a 25-06. Really fast, really flat. Then something really strange happened when I started guiding and seeing animals get killed. You get to see first hand hundreds of animals get shot. And 99% of those shots are under 500 yds. In the guiding world I'm guessing 75% of shots were not perfect placement. But if they were shot with a 30 cal hole we were able to track and recover the animals. Not so much with the smaller calibers. 308 pros are number one for me it kills better. Ammo availability and cost, 308. Barrel life, 308. Inherit accuracy prob a tie. Brass and reloading components 308. And that is probably due to the popularity of the 6.5 but there is less on the shelves. I have a 6.5 Creed and had a PRC. Advantage for them is gonna be lighter recoil for the Creed I notice no difference from the 308 and PRC. Biggest advantage is past 600 yds. If you are going to shoot a lot of paper and steel 600 yds and beyond the 6.5 has the advantage here. Hype...6.5 definitely wins that trophy. For a nuts and bolts hunting rifle out to 600 yds from Javelina to Moose give me a 308! [/QUOTE]
