Neither calibers are bad choices for sure, but I already have the Creedmoor barrel and with my work schedule I don't have a ton of time to reload more cartridges than I do and Creedmoor is on that short list already. I'll mainly stick with the 120-129gr class bullets to keep the velocity up some over the 140's.
