So I just got a new Tikka t3x in a 6.5 creed. What I was wondering what style bullets do you like? 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?

Rumor has it, 6.5CM doesn't even need ammo. You just whisper the word Creedmoor and wild game will fall over dead as NASCAR .... congrats on the new rifle!

Umm, be prepared for some ribbing when you tell the aldeer brethren you got a Creedmoor. If I get another one, I’m gonna keep it to myself. They call that a “closet Creedmoor shooter.”

Damn, out of all this I got one good suggestion and a thumbs up on the tikka. 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.

I've got a new Remington 700 stainless and it really likes the Precision Hunter 143gr ELD X

Thanks guys! I was looking at the 143 eld-x, I was just wondering what everyone’s experiences with shooting deer. Do they generally just drop or run off, I know a lot of that is up to shot placement but...
