[QUOTE="DakotaGlockGuy, post: 922148, member: 59926"] So just to make sure I understand this, it seems like the .308 is going to hit harder at whatever distance, but will be more affected by wind and drop so it might lose accuracy out past 600 or so yards. The Creedmoor won't hit as hard, but is going to be more accurate at the longer distances due to the more aerodynamic bullet negating some of the wind and drop. As far as the rounds, it looks like there are good factory options for both, with the .308 obviously having a much larger selection since that round has been around so long. Anything I'm missing?
