Is the 6.5 creedmoor a good deer caliber out to 250 yrds ?

Its a good caliber to 400+

My 140 gr BT load still carries 1000 ft lbs of energy at 660 yards

[kae006]

OK now I have a question for all you X-sperts, how is the 6.5 Creedmore suited for a 12 YO as compared to say a .243???

Similar recoil. Better terminal performance from the 6.5

Extremely similar ballistics, less recoil on the 6.5

[Yamahamma]

Not sure about a 12YO. I know it kicks less than my preferred caliber, .270.

[ShawnG]

Absolutely!!

Thank you guys.

the 243 is almost a ballistic twin of the 6mm creedmoor, which is just a necked down 6.5 creedmoor. The 6.5 hits harder and has slightly more recoil, but not so much a youth shooter would be uncomfortable.
