[QUOTE="Yeager, post: 2062559, member: 78870"] I think there can be a significant difference between a 6.5 Creedmoor and a 7mm or 308: depends on barrel twist rate, bullet you choose to shoot, distance you expect to hunt Western Mule Deer, and more. Just trying to suggest you might spend some time calculating and shooting, accurately, to targets 500 yards +. Loading your own ammo opens a whole new set of experiences and it could change your choice of a new caliber? Actually you might want to consider the 6mm(.243) caliber: good for deer and antelope to 300 yds, low recoil, fun to shoot paper, and great for coyotes. Good fun building a new and different rifle.
