"If a guy has a 6.5 creedmoor, is a 308 enough of a separation to be worth having, etc?"
I have both and I think the CM is a great overall choice for most deer but when it comes to bigger deer, like my annual KS hunt, I prefer the 308 with 165s. Larger, heavier bullets tend to penetrate more and I've never been let down with a 165/308 if I do my part.
I've used the 270 Win with 130s quite a bit over the years and that combo of bullet weight and velocity is very impressive on deer!
