Savage fcp-sr 308 and used Hornady precision hunters 178gr.
How does the 6.5 creedmoor compare to the 308 on deer? I’m looking for a new rifle. I want a Ruger predator but can’t decide between 308 and 6.5 creedmoor. I don’t have any shots pass 300 so either would be fine distance wise. How do they compare on deer out to 200 yards? Does either one have a performance advantage on deer?I also have a TC Icon in .308, a Ruger American in 6.5 creedmoor
I got my son the Ruger ranch in 7.62x39. It is amazing! I use it more than he does! Great gun! Haven’t shot a deer yet though. Hopefully tomorrow I will.That 7.62x39mm in a bolt action is something
A 7.62x39 in a bolt action will be my next firearm acquisition, when the $ greens up.

Ok great yea I prefer the 6.5 creedmoor but if the 308 had a big advantage in killing power I was gonna get it.They are pretty close to each other. If I could only own one gun, I would choose the 6.5 creedmoor.
My brother just killed 2 does one at 140 and one at 190 with a ruger American predator in 6.5 creedmoor. The 140 yard doe went 50 yards due to the shot being a bit back but the 190 dropped and never flinched.How does the 6.5 creedmoor compare to the 308 on deer? I’m looking for a new rifle.
