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

[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1350564, member: 88320"] Lots of variables but most creedmored will shoot a 140gr bullet around 2800 FPS. At that velocity you are getting to that 1000 ftlbs and 1800fps at 800-850 yards. Those are the benchmarks most use for effective hunting range. Add some FPS and you can extend your range. A well placed bullet will kill at 800ftlbs, a not well placed bullet might not. It’s up to each to decide what you want your parameters to be. Will it kill at 1K yes it will. Is it the best choice for hunting at that range? Most will say there are better suited cartridges. [/QUOTE]
