[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1704040, member: 72601"] I have both barrels now. Getting ready to start into 6mm creed. My general feeling is the 6.5 cm is in general a more versatile round over the 6mm. The 6mm is best suited for targets, and varmint and a whitetails. I still feel if alot of hunting is on the menu then the 6.5 is going to be the better route. Bigger bullets hit harder that's just the way it is. However, for what my style of shooting is I think I'll like 6mm better. Lighter recoil, faster,flatter, same wind drift..... what's not to like? Saying the 6mm takes the 6.5s lunch is kinda ridiculous though. It's only advantage is speed and recoil. With speed comes less barrel life as well. Both have their place and jobs to do. I never feel under gunned with my 6.5 for deer or black bear. Just had my 6.5 out at 1600 last weekend. Did fairly well actually considering the conditions. Well see if my opinion changes after I actually get my 6mm creed barrel up and running [/QUOTE]
