[QUOTE="jstamper, post: 1973966, member: 107676"] I didn’t make it all the way through all 7 pages, but just in case no one mentioned it, Nathan Foster in NZ rates the Creedmoor (and other 6.5 cartridges in its class) out to around 800 yards with bullets soft enough to expand at those impact velocities (I.e. ELD-M, etc.). I personally feel better with a little more oomph out past around 600 yards, but Nathan and his cronies have had a hand in far, far more LR kills than me (and in fact, more than most folks). Also, his books on long-range cartridges are very in-depth with lots of real-world data, and his explanations of how bullets actually kill game make a lot of sense. [/QUOTE]
