[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 2593156, member: 72601"] The difference between .264 and .284 is only .020 difference. I'd say it has more to do with the power and bullet construction of the round vs bullet diameter. That being said if your primarily hunting deer or black bear sized animals 6.5 creed has always been my go to for that sized critter. We haven't had a critter walk away from out 6.5s yet. Good component availability and you can build out a light weight rifle that wont kick the xrap out of you. About 10 years ago I killed a big boar black bear that dressed at 312. He went 10 yards and folded. He couldn't tell I hit him with that little 6.5 vs a bigger caliber that most people would recommend for bears. [/QUOTE]
