Extreme Long Range Hunting & Shooting (ELR)
Is the 6.5 Creedmoor too "light" for 1,000+ yard hunting?

[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1348272"] I've seen the 6.5 hits on steel at 1000 many many times. Yes a 6.5 CM is too light for anything but varmints at that range. Retained energy is fine but velocity is way way to low for energy transfer. Physics is physics and FPS has an effect on expansion. Expansion means energy transfer. If it had 300 more FPS I would say it's fine but it doesn't. [/QUOTE]
