[QUOTE="Herringbone, post: 1977798, member: 96916"] Here are my thoughts on 6.5 Creedmoor based my experience. So I have killed a couple under 150 yds and had satisfactory results. With that said, I also killed a doe at 648 yards. I was fortunate and lucky I suppose to have made a near perfect shot and the doe only went about 5 yards. After dressing the deer, my opinion is that the wound channel was pretty small and would not be very forgiving for a marginal shot, especially on a larger deer. All were taken with 143 ELD-X. So, I don't think there is a certain range where the 6.5 Creedmoor is suddenly no good, but I do think at longer distances it can really be unforgiving for marginal shot placement. I am more of a 7mm Rem Mag guy for an all around deer and elk. [/QUOTE]
