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

[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1437845, member: 55944"] I think you are missing the point. It is completely obvious that a bullet with a better BC and higher velocity will perform better at long range no matter what it is. I never said a 6.5 140 would be better than a 338 300gr, or. 308 215gr, or a 7mm 180gr. Those bullets driven by much larger cases will always out perform the smaller bullets with lower BC, from smaller cases. However having bigger and better options does not prevent the smaller ones from accomplishing the same goal. The question was not what is the best long range caliber it was is a 6.5 creedmoor too small. [/QUOTE]
