[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 1055695, member: 20443"] To address a point just real quick. Your choices couldn't be farther apart and are on opposite ends of the spectrum. I mean we aren't talking a few fps difference and 7mm or 308 we are talking one shoots literally a bullet over twice the weight of the other. The 338 lapua is a fine round and improved is better. Brass quality, can't find better. If it's what you want buy it and shoot the hell out of it. You will never not have enough gun. The 6.5 creedmoor, I have one and love it. But it's my practice gun that I bought after my custom 7 mag because I like shooting....alot! I think we need to figure out what your expectations are and your hunting and shooting needs are. If you are going to be hunting under 1000 the 300 rum is great, the 300 win mag will do also. Is elk in the cards? To be honest even though people do it on TV and the Internet all the time the 6.5 is really a marginal longrange hunting round, especially in the creedmore. So if the choice is between the 2 and only these 2 and you plan on hunting over 600 yards the 338 lapua gets my vote but I'd be willing to bet there's a better round somewhere in between that will fits you better.
