Teeder,
It doesn't matter if somebody buys a 6.5 Creedmoor and only shots to 200 yards (or whatever). The bullets still have plenty of power for big game at close range. That's part of what I was pointing out when somebody suggested a 7mm of about the same power would somehow be more effective with 140-grain bullets.
This has been proven over and over again by 6.5 cartridges since the 6.5x55 appeared in 1892.
