The Creedmoor will handle big reds out to 500 with the right bullet.
Being a new shooter he should keep the rangers down to 300-400.
I've shot plenty of animals out to 630 with my 20" Creedmoor or 18" .260.

yes but its like going out the back and trying to fell the big 5 foot thru macrocarpara for firewood with ya $150 Warehouse electric chainsaw - on paper it will eventually do it but what ya need is a big 90cc Sthil with a 5 foot bar - nah - stand by my guns the 6.5 creedmore is not a long range deer rifle - I shot a lot of deer with .222 rem but I would not recommend it - get a magnum with suppressor very manageable and one is not undergunned - should not have to go thru all the rigmarole of bullet selection - what's available from local gunshop should work -
