Shoot light for caliber bullets.... lose deer. It's really that simple.
I do love the on game performance of the 120 grain NBTs out of my 7-08. They seem to really punch above their weight class. Yeah the 115 noslers i shoot in my 257wbymag pulverizes buck deers! SPEED KILLS š Unfortunately that's a completely different caliber and has nothing to do with this.... the 115 Nosler is considered heavy for that caliber the heaviest is a 120 grain. Speed does kill.... but 6.5 Manbun is slow. My 257 WBY shoots about 3400fps with a 115. That's not apples and oranges that's apples and cucumbers. I know, couldn't resist š
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

how does the 6.5 CM stack up against the 308? I read a long article one time that was way over my head, but from what I gathered. The 6.5 was only slightly better than the 308.

How do you know someone is a 6.5CM shooter?
Donāt worry, theyāll fāing tell you.
THIS! CM shooters are the cross-fitters of the deer hunting world. I don't give a rat's butt if you kill your deer with a claw hammer, but if you feel the need to "silence the haters" every time you shoot your gun, you already know it's underwhelming.

This ^^^^.
Headstamps donāt matter.
Bullet construction + shot location + adequate velocity for bullet expansion = desired results/dead critters

I think you see more talk from creed shooters on various Facebook pages and the hate for them follows. I do not recall many threads here about the unbelievable killing machine that is a Creed Oh it's well documented.

As long as you are shooting 140's you are still allowed to have a penis.
Dang. I think my 7mm-08s are 139s I know. Ive been shooting 130s out of my 270. Luckily Ive been married for a long time and no longer need a penis.

Real men shoot 300 magnum or larger . No tracking, no suffering. When I hunted religiously with my 7mm mag, that was my mindset. Just hit it in the general area of the shoulder and itās going down. With my 308 itās about better shot placement with damn good ammo.

".308 is better." Why stop there? What about .300 Win Mag? 7.82 warbird? .416 Rigby? They might be more effective at long range or larger game, but hand any of them to a small frame person on a light rifle and watch him/her learn to flinch. The long-for-caliber 6.5 family has been a no-fuss, efficient combo for 130 years, since the Swedes put together the 6.5 x 55, for everything for men to brown bears. About 70 years later, the long range crowd worked up the .260 as a very stable, effective, efficient target or deer load, and the rest is history. To each his own, but I'm with the OP. I'd almost stretch a point, with modern ammo, and include the .243//6mm, and go up to the 7./08, but certainly the whole 6.5/08 family are pretty much foolproof on a 200 lb whitetail. Just checked the ballistics on the 6.5 Creed at 300. Roughly 1,600 foot-pounds. Anybody loosing deer at those ranges, the best fix might be......3 bricks of .22 LR and some range time. Just sayin.
