Is this a hypothetical or are you in the process of picking between the 2? What type of hunting do you normally do? Do you reload?

There's a lot of room cartridge wise between those two cartridges. The 7RM would be a good choice between those two with lots of different factory loads or established load data as well. Otherwise, if it is strictly those two, 28 Nosler.

just kidding, but there is quite a difference between the 6.5cm and the 28Noz, personally I'd go somewhere in between

28N is a rocket sled and very fun to drive. The creed is a VW Bug and will get you where you want to go.
Depends on how much you shoot the 28 is a barrel burner
But if I had to kill an elf I would go with a 45-70 for near and a 50 for far the dang elf's are bad to the bone wouldn't want to wound one might come after you

I like the concept....deer and elf.....deer are easily taken with creed.....the elf....well you might need the 28....
I wouldn't shortchange myself by a cdm......if youre wanting a 65.....65284 is a touch more powder....26 nosler will take am both....

Neither one. The Creed is a bit too anemic for my liking for elk, but great for deer. The 28 Nosler Is good for both, but as mentioned it very tough on barrels.
That is my favorite rifle a 6.5 x 2 84 Norma
IMO either will do the trick. The 28 Nosler obviously would be the better choice for elk as you can throw bigger chunks of lead and elk can sometimes be hard to take down. quite a bit more energy down range also if your shots will be long. Downside is barrel life will probably be shorter on the 28 if you shoot it a lot and ammo is quite a bit more expensive. If you are just hunting with the rifle than either should do the trick. Put a good quality bullet in the boiler room and either will serve you well for years to come.

Your 6.5 CM will be a dandy on deer, but the trouble with elves is that there's always one right behind the other. They're worse than the Imperial Marines on a hot Pacific island. Forget the Nosler - I'm gonna go with a solid team of fighters on crew-served weapons for them elvish types. Don't forget mortars and air support if you can get it. Elves are killers. Stay frosty.

Between the 2 mentioned another vote for 28 Nosler. 280 Ackley is a good round that's standardized now. 6.5-284 Norma only if you reload. 6.5 PRC seems like the new hot 6.5 hunting round. Depends on what kind of hunting you're gonna be doing.
