The 6.5 Creedmoor is recognized in the precision long range shooting arena as one of the most accurate and powerful cartridge, which is also used in hunting. With the power to throw a powerful punch, the Hornady round could easily catch an average whitetail by the use of a relative case.
Regardless, a lot of people still choose to go with 7mm-08 Remington while deer hunting as its salient feature is an excellent balance with propellant charge, bullet, and precision. 7mm-08 Remington vs. 6.5 Creedmoor, which of these rounds would be able to give you more value when you are deer hunting outdoor? Here's a brief history about the two cartridge.

7mm-08 Remington
Back in 1958, a certain 7mm/308 Winchester wildcat round was brought into development as its name hints, people developed this round by just necking down a standard .308 Winchester to have .284 bullets (7mm). The round would be spending the next two decades in the wildcat category until Remington came into play and began using the round, releasing it into the market under the name of 7mm-08 Remington. In a 0.308 round in use, 7mm-08 takes a close second place in polarity with 0.243 Winchester is taking the first spot. But with the right type of bullets, the Remington could take down small and medium deer with ease.

6.5 Creedmoor
Released to the public in the market by Hornady in 2007, the Creedmoor 6.5 is a modification of 3.0 Thompson center which was also a bit related to .308 Winchester. First of all, Hornady tried to come up with round that possesses the length of .308 Winchester while also keeping the strength of .30-.60 Springfield. What came out was.30 Thompson Center, the requirement of the project was definitely completed, but acceptance of the round by the customers was low which brought the round not to the top but to the sidelines. Fortunate enough, Hornady reinvented the design, necked down the design of the round and that is how the Creedmoor 6.5 came into being. Read the rest of 6.5 Creedmoor vs 7mm-08.

It was more entertaining when they were doing the articles about shooting through steel poles from 10’ away...

That does sound more entertaining! Years ago, a buddy borrowed my FALO (since sold to another buddy ;^) to shoot through some railroad main-line track plates, from [enter any distance that is way too close]. One ricochet came back and put a nice ding in his F350...
