500m+ is interesting for shooting with a target shooting rig - long, heavy barrel and a big heavy scope, bipod and bag... For hunting at that distance, with a lightweight rifle, it will require...

I'd be thinking of running 123gr in a handy 19", you'll hit steel that range no problem but for hunting out to those ranges I'd be thinking something heavier than a 6.5CR, but each to there own.

My 260 with a 19" barrel is doing 2700 with 140s and 2800 with 130s. Id imagine 2600fps with 140s would be fairly easy with the Creedmoor. Accuracy won't be an issue unless the gunsmith messed it...

Assuming one rifle with a 24" barrel and another with a 19" barrel could shoot the same groups at 100m and the only difference was 100fps in velocity, then at 600m you'll have a bit more drop and a...
