[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1122169, member: 74902"] The 6.5 Creedmoor is popular for a reason. A 6.5 with a high BC 140 Gr. bullet just runs off and leaves a 308 after about 400 yards. The 6.5 has much less wind drift and drop at 1000 yards. It also has more retained energy, and less initial recoil. I see no reason to get a 308 for recreational target. I would only get a 308 if shooting in some competition that required it. There was a real nice GAP in 6.5 Creedmoor that sold on there a few days ago. [/QUOTE]
