The 6.5 Creed is a great long-range target round. That said, the .243 Win may be better at varmints and the .270 Win takes care of any larger game I choose to get and at ranges up to 400 yards. I don't shoot at game beyond about 350 yards, but may shoot at coyotes farther than that.
To each his/her own, but just because a cartridge can hit a target at 700 yards, when you can shoot sighters and correct, that doesn't mean it's ethical to shoot at game near that distance.
We see animals that have been shot at close range that were never recovered, either walking wounded, or suffering a long time before dying. It is our duty as hunters to kill game as quickly as possible and to recover as many as possible that we shoot at.
