The creedmoor design in both 6.5 and 6 varieties does have a lot of things going for it and was really a good design and marketing idea from the beginning. I have had a couple different ones and they have shot well they just didn’t do anything different than some other calibers I already owned. I know have a set of matching 700 remingtons 243 and 308 with the same scopes, triggers, and mcmillan edge stocks. They cover the gamut of the hunting that I do.
A clear step up for most hunting ranges would be a 30-06 with heavy bullets or a big 30 cal magnum. They hit hard and will be harder hitting than a creedmoor. The big 7mms slinging 180 grain bullets are tough to knock as well.
