[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2170133, member: 10755"] You do not say what action you have. If a short action, I would recommend a 6.5x47 Lapua, 7-08 or 6-08/6x47. I do not get the Creedless, so others may chime in on that one. The hype around it, is just that, HYPE. It does nothing better than any other cartridge of it’s size. I see the 6.5 Lapua to be a better cartridge. If a short action, both the 25-06 and 270 will have to be ruled out. The barrel wear issue is moot, a 308 can fire 10,000 rounds. As can a 223/5.56. Barrel wear is something I don’t look at. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
