Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 6.5 Creedmor or 308 Win.?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This covers all arguments so far---Rio7

I have 2 Bergara Wilderness Ridge SP’s. One in 308 and the other in 6.5 CM. As of right now the 308 is more accurate. The 308’s best 3 shot group at 100 yards is .179 MOA shooting a Hammer HHT 154 gr. bullet. The 6.5 CM’s is .679 MOA at 100 shooting a Barnes 100 gr. TTSX. The 6.5 CM loads were actually made for my kids and they are reduced recoil and I know I can do better then that with a full power load. I just ordered 200 Hammer 80 gr. HHT’s to try out at full throttle for the 6.5 CM. This season I’ve killed 15 deer and 3 coyotes with the 308 and my oldest son has killed 3 deer with it. I have a custom built 6.5 CM that my son has killed 12 deer with during the 2 previous seasons with no issues and great results. For me it would really be hard to pick one over the other for killing deer sized game to be honest. With that being said my limited experience is with killing stuff and not punching holes in paper at far distances.

Great pic of the boys and the Buck!!!

You are correct. It was not designed to do so.

It does make it easy to spot the forum dipshits though. They’re the ones actually arguing over yet another 6.5 Creedmoor vs 308 thread.
