Finally, a sensible article on the issue of hunting with the 6.5 Creedmoor!
The latest edition of Petersen's Hunting magazine has a good article on hunting with the 6.5 Creedmoor by Craig Boddington.
As always, he breaks it down to sensible use of this cartridge and what its true hunting abilities are, compared to its target shooting abilities. He sums up the issue of velocity, energy and trajectories well and what its' sensible range for hunting elk and moose is. If people want to stretch the distance on these animals, they need more velocity and energy, period.
I sincerely hope that many long range hunters read this!
He does a good job of comparing it to other 6.5 cartridges, as well as to the 270 and 7mm calibers.
