Kate wrote I've been into long-range shooting for a while, and both 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 are solid choices, depending on your goals.

If you're prioritizing precision and long-range consistency with less recoil, the 6.5 Creedmoor is hard to beat. It excels in terms of ballistic coefficient, flatter trajectory, and less wind drift at extended ranges. Plus, it's a popular choice for competition shooting and hunting medium-sized game.

On the other hand, .308 is tried and true. It's widely available, generally less expensive, and works well for distances under 800 yards. The .308 can handle heavier bullets, which can be advantageous for larger game or certain environmental conditions.

300 Win Mag is great for extreme distances or larger game, but as you said, it might be overkill for most applications unless you're pushing past 1,000 yards regularly or hunting big game.

Ultimately, I'd recommend considering what distances you plan to shoot and whether recoil, ammo cost, or availability is a factor. I lean toward 6.5 Creedmoor for its versatility and ease of shooting over long distances, but .308 still holds its place as a dependable all-around round.

Thanks Kate, do you happen to be shooting suppressed?
