[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 3033074, member: 25389"] The 6.5 Creedmoor produces about 13 ft-lbs of recoil vs 17 ft-lbs for the 7mm08. If this is a deer only rifle go with the 6.5 CM. AMMO is readily available and lower recoil will enhance the shooting experience for the young shooter. Specialty rounds are OK if you’re an avid reloader. However, small town retailers in hunt country usually only carry ammo for the most popular cartridges. If the rifle gets dropped, you might use ammo to rezero the rifle. Over the years, our wildcat rifles stayed in camp occasionally because we couldn’t replenish ammo in remote areas. [/QUOTE]
