[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1703763, member: 69478"] I personally love both cartridges. I believe the 6mm Creedmoor is a solid, modern, cartridge that cleans up a lot of the past 6mm cartridges. It fits in a short action like a .243 and can be loaded to nearly equal the 6mm Remington. The 6mm Creedmoor can be used for varmints, predators, and light skinned game. It’s also an awesome competition cartridge and is very accurate. The 6.5 Creedmoor is another cartridge I feel does a lot. It’s short, modern design fits in short actions with heavy for caliber bullets. It’s also supported very well by ammo and rifle manufacturers. Factory ammo and SAAMI spec reamers are designed around these new style bullets. Yes there’s other rounds that are nearly identical, but none of them have the factory support and none of them were designed from the ground up to be the maximum effort short action 6.5 cartridge utilizing modern bullets. I think the 6.5 is better for hunting medium sized game and takes over where the 6mm leaves off. I think the 6.5 is better for someone who plans to hunt deer more than varmints. I don’t think either one of them is a replacement for the other. I think they both can do separate stuff better than the other, but I feel they both have their own place. [/QUOTE]
