6.5 Creedmoor is an excellent all-around choice, but another caliber may make more sense depending on your rifle, hunting application, shooting distance, ammunition budget, and desired performance.
The .308 Winchester, for example, offers an exceptionally broad selection of ammunition and rifles, while 6.5 PRC provides higher velocity and energy at the cost of greater recoil and typically higher ammunition costs.
