[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1873492, member: 33159"] The above post from BullElk54 was spot on. My 2 cents. I own a 6.5 Creed and a 6.5-284 Norma (the predecessor and ballistic twin of the PRC). Both are fantastic cartridges. Extremely accurate. Although the PRC is becoming more popular, their is nowhere near the amount of factory ammo available for it like the Creed. If you’re never going to reload, and use the rifle for deer sized game, pick the Creed. I’d hunt elk with your 308. A good friend took his 6.5 CM elk hunting last year. He was as successful, but he said “I should have listened to you and borrowed your 300 WSM. I needed more Oomph!!” Now, I'll muddy the waters a little. Loading with RL26 and the 143 ELDX, I can get 2950 fps out of my 6.5 Creedmoor. That’s 50 fps less than my 6.5-284 Norma with the same bullet. I’ll leave you with this statement from my favorite outfitter in WY. “I don’t like the Creedmoor, I think it’s the man bun of cartridges”. [/QUOTE]
