I had been shooting 6.5 creedmoor but stepped up to a 7PRC.
Like other said, deer won’t know a difference but I had two less than great shots with my creedmoor last year so I wanted alittle extra and something new. What are the details about the two less than great shots with your Creed(bullet, shot distance, where they were hit, etc)? One was an LRX at 200yds, hardly a drop of blood but a solid hit. Second was a 6-8pt at 250yds with an LRX. Looked like a good hit and had some lung blood but waited two hours and tracked for another 3 but lost it when it reached mature pines floor was pure pine straw. Not saying a 7PRC would have closed the deal on either but I believe a faster heavier bullets gives you a larger margin of error with shots.

Not saying a 7PRC would have closed the deal on either but I believe a faster heavier bullets gives you a larger margin of error with shots. Your bullet choice had more to do with it than your cartridge choice. For reference, I killed 2 deer last year with a 223 loaded with 77 grain tipped matchkings(TMK). One was a doe at 140 yards and the second was a 200+ pound 8 point at 40 yards. My 223 setup is good to about 450 yards for animals. Only shot it to 660 yards on targets, though.
83% of all statistics are made up.
