[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 2691085, member: 13632"] It all depends on commitment level, if you want to push either start with Lapua small primer brass, the 308 will need throated to run 200+ gr bullets the 6.5 Creed is there already. I have a 308 on a long action that has significant throat wear to the point I seat 215 Bergers about half way down the neck so I can run them jambed, I can push them over 2600fps in thay rifle, it's not an issue to shoot out to a mile and I've shot ten shot groups with it at 1535 for fun. It will kill well beyond what most would imagine it would with that specific bullet. You do need an optic that you can crank on some serious elevation!!! The 6.5 Creed just wins in the easy category, especially if you target shooting, easier to push easier to shoot due to recoil but the bullets won't hold up on the farthest limits if you want to hunt. I like them both but it's much easier to just leave each in their respective lanes and enjoy them for what they are, fun to see what they can do but there is a reason we have the next size up chambering for everything in minor increments!!
