I'm sure there are other cartridges that do one or the other or even both better, but it gets the job done for me.
i just got the creed myself put 2 boars down with it so far, this thing hits them like a hammer, im still shooting factory ammo, 129 gr interlocks, i recovered a bullet from the 200 lb boar i shot, it retained 83% weight and had a expanded diameter of .68
i have always read about the 6.5 bullet being a great penetrator and having great flight characteristics , this is the only bullet recovered of 9 animals killed this year with a creed. theres something about that 6.5 bullet.
heres the hog i recovered it from, i was testing the creed against our toughest animal in Texas, it made it through the shield through the shoulder bone through both sides of the ribs through the opposite shoulder and stuck in offside shield.
heres a vid of my first kill with it this year a 150lb boar same shot but further out at 150 yds, blew right threw him. both boars dropped in their tracks
