6.5 Creedmoor or 7mm-08 for 600 yards an in?

[ckc07]

Looking for suggestions between a 6.5 Creedmoor or 7mm-08 for 600 yards and in. Looking for something a little easier to shoot for my wife. Other lower recoil calibers welcomed, but interested in the two mentioned above.

I like the 6.5 creedmoor

Little late to the party here maybe, but It shocks me that so many people are recommending the 6.5 Creedmoor if you're a non-reloader. There are LOTS of great factory ammo options for the 7mm-08 too, and in my experience, just as available.

I'm most definitely a 7mm fanboy, but I can't think of a single reason where I wouldn't opt for the 7mm-08 over the 6.5 Creedmoor.

6.5 will need at least a 20” barrel if that matters to you, .243 would be a viable option as well

Either, with a well placed shot and proper bullet choice I don’t think you will notice a differance.

I shoot 708 AR10 139SST and precision bolt gun 162ELDM. The 139SST are the cheapest, highest BC bullet for hogs and ringing steel 1000yds. The 162ELDM bolt gun running 2750fps is a 1000yd no worries round. If you can get the throat long enough to seat the long 162ELDM to 2.900-2.950 in a 708 then big score. I went 708AI and now realize I can just throat out a plain vanilla 708 for nearly same velocities.

With that said, the 6.5CM seems the easy button.
