I use my 6.5 CM mainly for it's accuracy when deer hunting at ranges up to 350 yards. That is for the lighter deer species like the average red deer, sika deer and fallow. Case in point, a couple of weeks back I had to take a difficult 200 plus yard shot on a sika stag which are about the size of a WT buck. I could only see his lower neck up and his hind quarter on one side. I knew that the Creed would place the 143 ELD-X where I aimed and so it was. Instant kill, through the base of the neck.

I use my .308 with 180gr Norma Oryx for close in (under 50 yards) on large heavy bodied red stags during the roar (rut). They can sometimes come running in at you and you haven't got time for fancy bullet placement. My hunting buddy prefers his .338/06 AI for large stags.
