Hello to all,
I wasn't sure where to post this question, so I picked here. Basically I am looking at getting a very factory Savage lightweight hunter that I plan on using for antelope and deer. I have narrowed it down to either 6.5 Creedmoor or the 260 Remington. I am assuming accuracy will be basically the same between the two calibers so that isn't what I'm interested in.
My question is if any of you folks can recommend one or the other caliber as far as terminal ballistics and what not. I am a hand loader, so ammo wont be an issue, I will either use an SST, LRX or an Accubond. Probably more in favor of the SST because I will be using it on thin skinned critters.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
