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

[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1351621, member: 56875"] There is a big deference with what you want for a firearm when you a faced with a charge from dangerous game at 50 yards or less or one you might use to take unsuspecting game. There have been many large Grizzlies and Brown Bears shot over the years with the 30-06 and they died just as dead as if they were hit with a 50 BMG , even though this is fact the 30-06 would not be the firearm of choice for most to stop a charge. I would surly rather have it though than only a jackknife. That being said the 30-06 is far from obsolete, maybe in the eyes of individuals not willing to load it to it's potential. A couple guys MontanaMarine and USSR quite a few years ago in 2002 proved that with the 30-06 and heavy over 200 gr bullets ([URL]https://forum.snipershide.com/forum/sniper%C2%92s-hide%C2%AE-armory-supply/sniper-s-hide-bolt-action-rifles/112707-remember-the-great-30-06-debate-10-years-ago[/URL]) and now with the potential RL26 shows with 200+ Bullets in the 06 it shows even more promise. Also German Salazar proved that the 30-06 also lacked nothing as far as accuracy goes as well.
