Not sure what you mean? Those calibers recoil less than the Creed, but still have the guts to kill medium game, as the OP was asking…

The easy answers to the question is 223 if you’re comfortable (I would be), and if not, a 357 Mag rifle for short range or 300 Blk/ARC/Grendel for longer. Or you can download to those same levels with a whole host of other calibers.

Lol so you put down mentioning creedmoor recoil but mention 357 mag 300 BLK etc etc??? Makes perfect sense.
