Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What cartridge is a clear step up from the 6.5 Creedmoor

I would contend that a 140 gr 6.5mm cartridge would be quite adequate for up to elk, I have used 308 Win, 338 WM and 444 Marlin. The latter two made much more of an impression, but the 308 Win was rock solid. Many have said an 06 would be the next logical step but I would say any .33 caliber cartridge would be a better jump.
