I was going to get a 7-08 about 6? years back. I was waiting for the sales guy at sportsman’s. So I went and Looked at the ammo availability and price on the shelf.
The 6.5 creed had at least 4 or 5 times the selection and cheapest 6.5 was $10.99 vs $25 something for the 7-08.
Bought the 6.5 and 10 boxes of the S&B for brass and cheap plinking ammo.

Now that I reload it doesn’t matter. But that was one of deciding factors.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
