This is what I was going to ask as well.What you gonna do with it?
^^^^This right here pretty well sums up the vast majority of these “which is better” caliber discussions. Every time I see someone claim a certain caliber is inadequate for deer or pigs or elk or whatever my first thought is that the person made a bad shot and had to blame something besides his lack of preparation.Properly placed shots and the correct bullet for the job at hand runs across every caliber out there.
My daughter shot one through the lungs that run off with no blood and went about 150 yards we just happened to come across it when we were leaving I know this can happen with other calibers too but it hasn’t happened with the 6.5 yet I have had friends had the same thing happen more than once with 308 and all 3 quit using themAs a general purpose hunting ( deer, elk, pig, etc) out to 300 yds- the .308 is superior. If you regularly shoot 300+, want to do long range target stuff, etc- then the creedmore/.260 rem might be for you. As for “ seen bad things happen with .308”- what? A miss? Bad shot placement?
