Have a look at the dam ballistic charts and read up on the specs Hornady printed about the 143gr ELDX. Man, your knocking something you have no clue about. Just a little research on your part would save a lot of back and forth.
From reading your posts it's clear your running down the wrong tracks.
It is not my intent to try and shoot an animal at long range, the closer the better.
I don't think the Creedmoor is the best long range rifle available.
All of the big game I have killed have been under 600yds.
The criteria for my latest rifle was as follows:
Short action
Capable of a wide variety of hunting, coyote to moose out to 600yds max.
Low recoil
Long barrel life because I plan on putting a pile of lead through the pipe.
Cheap ammo.
With this list, and a pile of research, being that it's a custom rifle and I reload, I was able to chose literally any cartridge produced. Based on my requirements the 6.5 Creedmoor fit the bill perfectly.
Have you ever shot a big game animal at 400-500yds with a 143gr ELDX out of your swede?
