[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1629108, member: 96316"] Just creating a new thread so as not to sidetrack the original threads where these posts occur. In response to posts on other threads, where .308 / .30-06 are mentioned in the same context as being replaced by Creedmoor for hunting, and forum members are falling over each other to smugly high-five their Creedmoor marketing knowledge. Creedmoor is not a hunting cartridge. High BC bullets for Creedmoor are not for hunting. When you load hunting bullets in a Creedmoor, you lose one of the two pillars underlying it's performance, that of the BC superiority. With the superior BC, the bullets can fly longer to compensate for the shorter powder column. Take that away and you have a small caliber brush buster. You can certainly use a Creedmoor to hunt, same as you could use any caliber ever invented for hunting. But we do not punt every caliber invented as hunting replacements for the .308 / 30-06. The 30-06 and .308 were made for terminal performance, not for target shooting. Comparing the three is invalid, and illustrates shooter ignorance, not cartridge superiority. [/QUOTE]
