    It depends on what you are after? As a "bang flop" cartridge I think a 308 has the edge,for flat shooting and mild recoil/little blast the old Swede is hard to beat. I have a couple and have had a few,they are cheap to reload for,have decent case life and a good choice of projectiles.

    Over here they call the 6.5 Creedmore the "6.5 Costmore" as it dosnt do anything the 6.5 cant do except fit in a short action.
