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

[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1351373, member: 56875"] The second shot shows the 6.5 Creedmoor had more than enough energy at that distance to do the job, don't care if it's a magnum with twice the energy shot still need to be placed right. If bullet opens up and penetrates through vitals it is enough regardless. Shot placement is the most important. Magnum heavy bullets are more for being able to get through thick bone and still make it to the vitals. A bad shot with a 338 LM is still a bad shot and a well placed 243 Win is a kill with the proper bullet. Not saying I would have taken the shot, I would limit myself to 600 - 800 yards on game, because of me not the Cartridge. [/QUOTE]
