[QUOTE="jakeway, post: 4513474, member: 280"] It ain't hype. I have both, and I think the 6.5 Creedmoor is the more versatile cartridge. It can go down to 85 grain for a really nice long range predator gun, with much better ballistics than the lightest bullet in the 7mm-08. On the upper end, the 6.5 now has high quality bullets in 140 and above (even to 160) for larger game up to and including elk. If you need the 7mm to go to a heavier bullet, there are better 7mm cartridges for those applications than the 7mm-08. But, as always, you may need to handload to optimize either cartridge. The 6.5 Creedmoor is getting so popular, you can get very high quality cartridges off the shelf, but you will have to pay a premium. [/QUOTE]
