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

[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1360284, member: 56875"] An arrow does not require Energy to kill only for penetration, it kills by cutting with a razor sharp tip slicing through arteries, heart and lungs. Energy listed as required to hunt various animals is to try and get a pass through so you will have 2 holes to follow blood trail. The energy listed will not penetrate heavy bone, and still make it though the vitals in most cases. Energy in a bullet is energy required to expand the bullet and create a greater would channel, it does kill by cutting and destroying vitals as well. Bullet energy may be great enough to break heavy bone but may not be great enough to continue into the vitals to do the damage that kills. If there is enough energy and is still super sonic it may also have a shock effect on the nervous system of some animals causing a temporary paralysis allow the animal to drop right there and bleed out before it can get back up.
