Is 6.5 Creedmoor is better than .308 for long range ?
In our club i shoot at 600 yards....
This rifle looks interresting...
And looks like my 338 Lapua Custom made by North Shore barrel !

My understanding is that .308 is best suited for 800 yards and in but can reach 1000 but can be heavily effected by wind. 300 win and 6.5 creedmore are more suited for 1000 yard distances and deal with wind better.

The consensus seems to be that it definitely is! There is a bit more info on it in this other thread:

Is this calibre readily available like 308?
I wondered the same thing and checked several of my favorite online dealers and found only one that had it in stock and its about 2 bucks a round.
6.5 creedmore is a reloader cartridge , 6.5bullet are better than .30 because of their ballistics coefficient , their are better suited for long range paper punching , otherwise if people that got htose riffle give some really nice reviews i might order the .243 win one , with some powder you can thrown a 115-118gr very fast and probably have a similar bc than the 6.5 one , the only downside of a .243 it a barrel burner , the creedmore should be good for a 4k+ round and the 308 around 8k i think

I think Hornady is the only company currently making ammo in 6.5 Creedmoor (makes sense seeing as they created the round) but the cartridge does seem to be gaining some momentum with both long range precision shooters and hunters. I wouldn't be surprised to see most of the major ammo manufacturers with a good range of offerings in the not so distant future.
But for the immediate future it looks like we'll have to either track down Horandy factory rounds or get comfortable reloading.
As for barrel life, everything I have read/researched so far indicates that 6.5 Creedmoor should be fairly close but slight less than .308. Not enough difference to even waste time talking about. So here's hoping!
Order placed for 6.5CM. As a reloader I don't foresee issues with ammo. The deal with 6.5CM is that they fly flatter. Good for LD precision shooting.
Thanks Wanstalls for being the first to bring these beauties to Western Canada!
