i think the 6.5 Creed is a very nice desirable round. Wife shoots a 7-08 and I shoot either a 7-08AI or a 243 win, so I think we've got the 6.5 covered. Lately, I've been very happy with the 243 win with a Shilen barrel and 95 grain Nosler BTs. If less is enough, it's really more. I have gathered up a really good supply of both 6mm and 7mm bullets over the years, so it would be a little silly for me to change and start over with dies, bullets, brass, etc, at this stage. Happy hunting to you all.
