[QUOTE="okie man, post: 1741305, member: 75071"] The creedmoor load is the 143 grain eld-x at 2725fps and the 308 is the Hornady 168bthp at 2825fps Soon as I burn up the last of my 500 count box of 168 bthp I’m gonna work up a load with 178 eldx and see if I can beat the creedmoor in wind drift. Both guns weigh about the same. The creed has a break, 308 doesn’t so recoil is more but totally tolerable. I’d take the 308 over the creed for elk or bear , bigger heavier bullet with more energy vs big bones and muscle for me. Neither is a 1000 yard deer rifle, neither is a 700 yard elk rifle! Both are fine 5-600 yard deer rifles. One has been taking care of soldiers , hunters and target shooters since 1952, one since 2007! There’s my take on both cartridges [/QUOTE]
