The Creed is a far better choice than the 243 for any big game hunting but it offers less than the 7-08 or the 270 when it comes to larger game like Elk. Adding that you already load for these two the choice would be easy for me.
I’m disappointed that, in what’s already turned into a three page pissing match, none of you took the time to jump on rickt300 for bringing up the 243.
