I generally like the Hornady brand. I’m looking for something in the 140gr range. I hear the new hornady black is real good but they only have boat tail hollow point, but I’m skeptical about exit. Any suggestions? His neck is red as Alabama clay Now he's goin' home this time to stay Where the roots run deep on the family tree And the tractor rolls through the fields of green

You just whisper the word Creedmoor and wild game will fall over dead as NASCAR .... congrats on the new rifle! We’re not dead. We just smell that way. Dayum. - AC870 Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

If I get another one, I’m gonna keep it to myself. They call that a “closet Creedmoor shooter.” “Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.” On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member

I don't own a 6.5CM but I've got a couple 6.5x55 Swedes (Creedmoor's older brother and what 6.5CM wants to be when it grows up) and you're gonna be hard pressed to find a better hunting bullet than the 143gr ELD-X. It's got match grade accuracy and devastating performance on whitetail sized game. We’re not dead. We just smell that way. Dayum. - AC870 Yessir!

Do they generally just drop or run off, I know a lot of that is up to shot placement but...
