Thanks for all the replies. I've been looking for a certain rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor but found it for a great price at a local gun shop in 7mm-08. From what I know about it, the 7mm-08 seems like it would be great. But there are lots of good factory loads for the Creedmoor and not many for the 7mm-08. I can shoot the 6.5 creedmoor pretty cheaply. Not so much the 7mm-08.
Getting into reloading is a whole other thing... it would change my perspective for sure.
Gotta reload.
But, you're right. For the non-reloader, it's hard to beat the Creed, top quality ammo on the dealer's shelves and at fair prices.
I have both, shoot both, don't see much difference regarding how they perform on WT's and hogs. Both do the job. IMO, it depends more on the bullet than the caliber/round in comparing those two.
