Is the 6.5 Creedmoor too "light" for 1,000+ yard hunting?

[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1351610, member: 56875"] 2900 fps not loading all that hot with RL26, Try 3000 fps with 143 ELD-M out of a 26" tube within industry standard for pressure with 6.5 Creed. 2900 fps with a 308 can be done with the right load out of a 26" barrel. With 24" not sure what powder you would use to keep it under 62K pressure. My 30-06 24" barrel will push 165 Nosler ABs at 3100 fps with H205 and even at that speed the 165 falls short at 1000 yards it is 1277 fps and 598 ft lbs, 2245 fps and 1847 ft lbs at 400 yards. The 6.6 Creed is 1655 fps and 870 ft lbs at 1000 yards, 2406 fps and 1838 ft lbs at 400 yards. [/QUOTE]
