7 mm-08 and the 6.5 Creedmoor are both excellent cartridges , my vote would be for a 7mm-08 mainly because i built a custom Remington 700 action/ rifle in 7mm-08 5 - 10 years before anyone ever manufactured any rifles or ammo for this fine cartridge . the main reason i chambered a rifle to 7 mm-08 is i had so much once fired brass in 308 WIN. and in those days new 308 Win. brass was cheap to buy also .another shooter i knew Carl Gustason chambered his rifle in 25 caliber - 08 and called it 25 X his rifle was very accurate too but the chambering never did become a standard rifle cartridge as did a 7mm-08.
