[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1459332, member: 31749"] Get the Creedmoor: 1) Great factory support in ammo for match grade and premium hunting ammo right off the shelf at most big box stores and at prices comparable to similar loadings in the ubiquitous 308, factory support in terms of the variety and quality of the rifles chambered in Creedmoor (you get short handy sporter rifles all the way up to out of the box PRS competition ready precision rifles, bolt actions, gas guns, and everything in between to suite your fancy). 2) You can load bullets in the 100-120gr class and get nearly identical performance to the 25-06 on deer and antelope (they are within <100fps of each other running 120gr bullets and using the fastest/hottest loading based on my Nosler manual). 3) In addition you also have the option to load up the 140gr+ class of bullets and go after much bigger game You get all of this in a more efficient package that burns 20-30% less powder (read less throat erosion/ better barrel life, less muzzle blast, and less felt recoil).
