Summary

Mark Boardman and Ryan Muckenhirn sit down to pit the prom queen 6.5 Creed against the more than iconic .308 Win. After chatting through the merits of both (which both have many), they decide more research needs to be done. Research that requires guns, ammunition, and ballistics gel. If you’re trying to decide between these cartridges, perk up your ears and give this episode a listen. If still undecided at the end, stay tuned.

Welcome to the Vorotex Nation podcast brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public

All right, what is up everybody? Mark on the mic. You're joined by my good friend, Mr.

0:23.1

Ryan Muckenhurne. Now, Ryan, we do a lot of cartridge talks here, a lot of cartridge-related

0:29.4

stuff we talk about. I guess, you know, individually, oftentimes comparing them, right? I guess

0:35.8

it's like that's kind of like a natural benchmarking, benchmarking, yeah. But we never really

0:42.3

hit them against one another necessarily, and that's what we're doing today. So we've

0:48.5

got two, in my opinion, very popular, very capable cartridges. Right here, you could

say you've, you got the old bull over here, you got the young calf, and we're talking

about the 308 and the 65 creed. Oh gosh, you know, popular, yes, polarized, definitely.

1:09.4

Yes, it seems like you have people in both camps. Yep. You have, I would say, okay, correct

1:17.7

me if I'm wrong, but I'd say buy in large, people who are, you know, maybe they're like,

number. How'd that happen? You have, how many? I think the handful. You also have at

1:49.2

least I know one 308 because I've used it. Handful. Handful. Okay. They're both really

1:55.2

good. They are. So what's the big whoop? What's the big diff? Is one better than the other?

2:01.5

Are they better and different scenarios? I guess we'll say. We, I get asked a question

2:07.4
