[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1665200, member: 110162"] Personally, I agree with others assessment on the effective KILLING range of the creed. I built mine as a 500yd max HUNTING rig for whitetail deer that might top 200lbs . I think the average Joe Blow sees that the creed is an effective TARGET rifle out past 1000yds and assumes it has the energy to kill big game at those ranges. Steel plates dont bleed and to kill it all you need is a "bink" . There are those that say its ok to shoot elk sized game at 600-800yds with the 260 or 6.5 creed. Some have pulled it off too. To them I say, I know a guy that dropped a 120lbs doe at 200yds in its tracks with a 22LR ! True story ! Just because he did it, sure as heck doesnt mean it was the right thing to do . If I had a chance to chase elk, and was forced to use the creed, I would limit my shots to 200yds and in. [/QUOTE]
