My 22yr old daughter now has a 7-08 & loves it. She’s a hunter more than a shooter and pretty serious about it. My earlier thread, in Ask Gun Writers, has been looking for a bullet substitute due to availability - which we’ve talked about the suggestions made.
This conversation about bullets led to her considering a 6.5 Creedmoor as a second rifle - specifically in a short carbine as a companion to her 7-08 which is more full size 22” bbl.
I argued there isn’t enough difference between cartridges to make the investment worthwhile.
She pushed back and said at least she’d double her luck on finding ammo.
Can’t dispute that her logic holds merit but thought I’d put it here to see what other thoughts I/ she should consider
