[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 1973333, member: 104589"] I've been shooting 140 gr Bergers out of my 6.5 Creedmoor and should get 1800 fps and bullet expansion out to about 800 yards depending on elevation. I have no intention shooting a deer at extended ranges with my Creedmoor. I've only shot one deer with it and it was about 200 yards. I feel really good about killing any deer within 400 yards with my Creedmoor and wouldn't hesitate on a 500 yard shot under ideal conditions. I've shot my Creedmoor at 1000 yards and I'm sure I could hit and likely kill a deer at 1000 yards but you won't ever see me attempting that shot with my Creedmoor. I've killed 3 deer in the last 3 years at 500+ yards I was using my 338 Lapua on 2 of them and my 300 win Mag on one. If I'm going to likely be in a situation that I will choose to take a longer shot, you won't ever see me packing my Creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
