its 308 and it isnt close
Except they are both really, really close to eat other in every measurable there is.
I hate on the creedmoor as much as anybody, but I've been killing deer with a 6.5x55 my whole life. I've never had a bullet fail to exit, never had any kind of mystery performance issues, just lots of dead deer. A 140gr 6.5 soft point is a really really good deer whacker. The only thing I can figure is people are shooting target bullets or taking bad shots.

That’s what I have said for years. Same reason you don’t hear of people crying about poor performance from 7mm mag 30-30 7mm 08 and a slough of other cartridges, it’s because they are not available at academy In “match bullets”
A 130-150 grain proper designs bullet moving almost 3000fps will F some deer up if you place the shot
