Is the 6.5 Creedmoor too "light" for 1,000+ yard hunting?

[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1484025, member: 12443"] Well I was there in the 70s, not that it makes me any better in any way because it certainly dosent. First off terrain type makes a lot of difference with wind. Time of year also makes a difference due to thermals. What keeps those large preditor birds up there without flapping their wings as they glide along those valleys? Every fall hang gliders jump off at places like Hyner mountain which is only a few hundred yards above the river below. What keeps them up there for as long as they desire to stay? As you look across some of those valleys you could be looking at a ridge running parallel to the stream below, with a different ridge running in the opposite direction with a valley on each side of it also. So now weve got the valley were looking across at a ridge with 2 more valleys both converging into the main valley. In other words 3 different wind systems converging, not counting the thermals. So now weve got some guy holding a devise with a little propeller going to figure all that out? The old guys would be apt to say, so what do you think about the wind Bill, and Bill would say add 10 upstream and send one over there, i'll be watching. lol [/QUOTE]
