[QUOTE="NChntr, post: 1601345, member: 94090"] The Creedmoor has a huge following and nothing wrong with that. I do however feel like that its capabilities are miss represented poorly on some occasions. I’ve said this time and time again that we owe it to the animal that we’re harvesting to make a good, clean, ethical and quick kill on all our quarry. Every caliber has a range of capability. Since the Creedmoor is so popular many people push the rounds limits. I see two things wrong with this video. One the shooter appears to be past his range that he is efficient at resulting in potential unethical take of an animal and two he is under gunned. The two combined can and will at some point lead to way more devestating results than this. Bullet technology has pushed many to using smaller calibers on large game more than ever but are we as the individual ready for it? Are we as the person behind the gun as efficient as we need to be? I’m sure someone will hate me after this post and whatever. Let an anti hunting group see how this animal was taken and see how much more that fuels the fire that is already burning on their behalf to try to strip us of our God given rights. Yes they’ll hate on us regardless of the caliber used but why give them more ammo to push against what we truly love and are free to do? Throw all the ballistic info at me that you want on this round and all others. I’ve already read and seen it all myself and what may be impressive to you may not be to me at all.
