[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1106175, member: 12995"] First-off, welcome to LRH. I hope you find the info you're looking for here. The .30-06 will handle 700-800 yard hunting better than the 6.5 Creedmoor will. It will hit harder, and carries a heavier bullet. It will not be as flat-shooting as the 6.5 CM, but it is still a very good caliber for your task at-hand. I have a 26" .30-06 AI that pushes Berger 185 VLD handloads over 2,900 fps. That is right behind a .300 WinMag. Knowing the rifle and velocity (if I had a better scope on it), I would have no problem shooting deer at 1000 yards with that rifle. I think you would be better off getting to know your .30-06 a bit better than swapping to a smaller caliber for longer distance hunting... Kind of backwards, in my opinion. Most people usually go for bigger cartridges for longer distance shooting. [/QUOTE]
