If you don’t reload, I’d go with the Creed.

I can’t see any difference in how the two calibers kill game. Both work very well.

Same experience with my 7mm 08 and 6.5 creed.
My daughter is shooting the 7 08 and my 9 year old granddaughter is shooting a 6.5 creed. If I had to pick just one for a youth, It would be the 6.5 creed.
