If you reload maybe the 7-08 if you don't then go with the 6.5 creed... Down range performance is almost a wash.

For a hunting rifle I would go with the 7mm-08 as it has more options available in terms of factory hunting ammunition. Midway has 34 factory loads listed for 7mm-08 - all designed for hunting. The 6.5 Creedmoor has been the most recent flash in the pan cartridge and it's a very good round, but of the 32 factory loads Midway currently lists 11 are match loads with bullets that aren't designed for penetration or expansion. On the reloading side I would say the 7mm also has an advantage over the 6.5mm in terms of bullet selection.Originally Posted by SageRat Shooter
