which calibre would you go for and why?
308 or
6.5 creedmore
308 or
6.5 creedmore
Calibre
- Thread starter malc queen
- Start date
Just to be a pedant - it’s “Creedmoor”….it will make it easier when you search online.
As for choice - both have an excellent selection of bullet weights and lots of available ammunition and consumables.
The clincher is what you are shooting - if stalking at sensible ranges there is nothing in it, if shooting long range or gong bashing I’d go Creedmoor for slightly better BC/ballistics, if shooting F class it would need to be 308.
If you shoot on military ranges the Creedmoor is currently banned on most.
In two exactly the same guns the Creedmoor will have slightly less recoil so that may also be a consideration.
The creedmoor is also a little more economical from a powder charge point of view - but it’s negligible.
Also look at what rifles are available in each.
Hope this helps!

As above.
I have the real 6.5 (x55 SE) rather than the Creedmoor young pretender - both will drop anything walking this part of God’s green earth.
I also have a .308 which has the same result on deer but with considerably more authority - especially at distance on the hill.
Both have significant flexibility with bullet weights and type and you will see the bullet strike with the 6.5.
Depends really on what and where you intend to shoot….

Flip a coin. I use both and there isn't really anything in it. As said, if long range shooting the Creedmoor's high BC bullet will give less wind drift. For stalking, pick whichever your favourite rifle comes in.

post six must be a new record for a useless unhelpful comment thats nothing to do with what was posted surely?
is creedmore the spazzy cousin of the creedmoor ?
Consider the 7-08 although I do have a .308 too
CM is a close relative of the CW chamber aka CockWombleI have a hatred of both , but a 308 is better than a man bun gun
rife on SD.
Glad to have fans.post six must be a new record for a useless unhelpful comment thats nothing to do with what was posted surely?
