I’m surprised he even has to take the Creed out of the safe to kill a deer.

I've killed 8 with the 143 ELD-X and 7 have dropped in their tracks. One ran a short distance, probably 75 yards, and died.

I thought a man bun was required for the Creed.

In the Creed handbook it says that it is perfectly acceptable to substitute skinny jeans, colored hair and a gay tattoo in exchange for the man bun. Anyone that would title a thread "new to the Creedmoor family" on here is just asking to be abused. LOL Why even ask about what bullets to shoot. All you have to do is carry your Creed around on the edge of the property, then go put it back in your vehicle and then walk around in the woods picking up dead animals. If you were to actually carry it in the woods, you would depopulate the entire area.

AU338, did you notice that I took your previous advice and capitalized the "C" in Creedmoor to give it the proper respect that it deserves?

The 6.5 is a FAD right now that is getting a ton of press due to smart marketing and it has people jumping on the bandwagon cause the name sounds cool. Comparing the 6.5 to the 25-06 or the .270, the 6.5 has only a slightly higher BC between similar bullets such as the TTSX or the ELD-X (the associated wind drift difference and downrange bullet drop gained by the 6.5's slightly higher BC is more than compensated/made up for by the higher velocities and downrange energy of the 25 and .270). While the the 6.5 has a higher BC, it carries significantly less case capacity, lower MV and lower energy. The only real benefit to the 6.5 is the lighter recoil as compared to the .270 but if you think that a .270 is a hard kicking caliber, well............... better be sure you remember to wear a belt with those skinny jeans and make sure that your man bun is tied up in a tight little roll. rofl gun

Make sure and buy the lighter grain shells so they will fit in your skinny man jeans pockets better.

You make a lot good points. However I have a lot the other calibers you mentioned and then some. This gun is definitely not my primary choice of rifle, this is more for my daughter for less recoil and me goofing around. The main calibers i use is a .270 or .308, I was just asking for some good ammo suggestions.

Also what the Hell is Skinny Jeans? or Manbuns? I don't understand, since a lot you are experts on that subject can you shed some light?

Someone needs to post a link to the other "C"reedmoor thread where all that man bun, skinny jeans, fully vaporizing deer, stuff got started months ago. I think it was in the guns and gear forum. I'm just messing around on this one. For what you are going to do with it and what little I know about a 6.5, if it was me, I'd go with a 140 gr type bullet and that 143 gr ELD-X is probably going to be a really good round in it.

I don't know about terminal performance but as far as groups go I have personally seen some of the best groups I have ever seen out of a 6.5 Creedmore 143g eldx out of an abolt. I was impressed.

Do you have any problems getting both small ammo and manpons in those skinny jean pockets? grin

All new cartridges are referred to as a fad when they come out. The 308, 270, 223, 7mm08, 260 Remington, 6.8 SPC, etc were all fads when they came out. Shoot whatever performs for you and you want to shoot. That's what is so awesome about this country. You can own a rifle in each caliber if you want to! The 143 seems to be the choice for better performance on deer from what I've read.

The 143 ELDX seems to be the best option for the creedless.

My challenge with some of the creedmoor folks is the constant insistence of "ballistic superiority", when it doesn't come close to the .280 Remington until you get well past 1000 yards, and the .280 Ackley is better than the .280 Remington. 280 Ackley delivers more energy at less drop way past any conceivable hunting range.

The .270 Winchester is another light recoiling cartridge that is better than the creedmoor until 900 yards.

That doesn't even begin to describe the difference between the creed and the .264 Win Mag, another light recoiling caliber.

It's just a bonus that it apparently triggers the absolute hell out of people here.
