[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1388571, member: 101677"] I have a 257wby and a 6.5 creedmoor. Both shoot very well...I’d go with the 6.5 for myself. If your max is 400-500 yds the 25-06 is fine, but when it’s windy, you can notice the difference. I’ve shot a lot of deer with my 257, but I’ll be taking my 6.5 creed in the future. It’s not popularity or cool. When I’m wandering around by myself hunting doesn’t matter what I’m carrying, fact is I can make 1st round hits and stay on target in windy conditions better with the 6.5. But if I was buying a deer rifle I would go with a 6.5x284 or something(6.5prc, 6.5-06, 260ai) that can push a 140 closer to 3k than the creed. If you don’t reload then go with the creed. [/QUOTE]
