[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 739070, member: 17844"] The 6.5 Creedmoor is a good cartridge but it is smaller in capacity than a & 7 mm Rem Magnum. So I don't see a comparison . There is nothing that a 6.5 Creedmoor can do that a 7mm08 or 308W can't do in a hunting situation . Of the two the 7mm Rem Mag would have the better knock down at longer range. However they chew barrels up fairly quickly . If the deer is also Elk and you are considering the 7mm Rem mag then I would be inclined to also consider 300 Win Mag . You get the excellent range of 30 cal bullets , lots of comp quality dies in 300 WM available for better reloads . Store bought ammo more easily available. [/QUOTE]
