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

[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1351405, member: 10291"] I would consider the 6.5CM a 700-800 yard medium game round when driven with +140gr at 2800FPS. If the reports of shooters getting +2950FPS range using R26 with solid accuracy and "stability" with the +140's are valid, I'd say 1000 yards is OK. I have used my 6.5x284 with 140gr@2975FPS on game to 1000 yards or a bit more for several years with excellent success. Using my smaller cased 6.5's(6.5x47L, 6.5CM, 260R) mostly for competition, I have not tried pushing them into 6.5x284 territory. [/QUOTE]
