6.5 creedmoor vs .308 Outdoor Life comparison

I thought this was a great rundown on the two best widely available beginner cartridges for North American hunting. Made me rethink the ballistics of the .308 a bit but I still think the 6.5 is the way to go for new shooters since they perform almost identically but the 6.5 has less recoil.

Edited to clarify that i meant best beginner cartridges.
