Extreme Long Range Hunting & Shooting (ELR)
Is the 6.5 Creedmoor too "light" for 1,000+ yard hunting?

[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1438067, member: 10291"] It’s easy to understand this viewpoint. Just about every other aspect or variable associated with long range shooting can be measured and accounted for. Wind determination is variable and subjective, depending solely on the shooters specific knowledge and judgement. People tend to reject what they can’t control or understand. I know many that attempt to horse their way through with light bullets, and high velocity. This can work up to a point, but physics eventually take over and a dead end is inevitable. Learning to read and account for wind is a never ending process, and I can assure you that those make the commitment to study and account for wind, understand the ballistic principals and apply them, will be more accomplished long range shooters/hunters then those that reject or dismiss it. IMO. [/QUOTE]
