I have killed more deer with my 30-06 than all of my other rifles combined. I hunted with my 6.5 Creedmoor this year just to see how it would perform. I got skunked for the first time in quite a few years. I didn't even get a shot at a buck in 9 days of hunting. My conclusion: 6.5 Creedmoor is no good for deer.
I came to the opposite conclusion. I used my 6.5 Creed for the first time this season and killed two with it. It's definitely good for deer.
