[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 1993553, member: 115299"] All joking aside, some people are not comfortable or proficient enough to take game beyond 250. That being said, the 6.5 creedmoor has more than enough terminal ballistics to take a whitetail or any other species of deer in North America out to 600+, depending on bullet selection and conditions. Though I would not recommend it, my, at the time, 13 year old shot these groups at 600 back to back one afternoon in a storm with about a 15 mph swirling wind. The 6.5's ability to buck the wind is incredible. Under normal conditions I think 600 on a whitetail is ethical, beyond that not so much for reasons I previously stated. [/QUOTE]
