Re: 6.5 Creedmoor at extreme long range

I don’t know if they’re all good for those kind of extreme ranges, but generally speaking, I’ve been very impressed with the capabilities of all these relatively modern sub-7mm cartridges…6.5 Creedmoor, 6.0 Creedmoor, 6.8 SPC, 6.5 ARC, 6.0 ARC, 6.5 PRC, 6.0 PRC, 6.5 Grendel, etc.

I’m already pretty well invested in .308, and certainly there continue to be good reasons to have one. Unfortunately, I'm not currently in the financial position to buy a new 6.5 Creedmoor or I might well have bought one. What I am considering is building a 6.8 SPC barreled AR-15 upper to use for hunting on one of my lowers. But if I had the lucre, I’d definitely buy a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt gun…not so much because I want to try shooting out to really extreme ranges, but because I’d like to have a flatter-shooting longer range hunting capability without added recoil thump.
