I picked up a Weatherby Vanguard in 6.5 Creedmoor. I’m interested in hearing what factory ammunition that those who are deer hunting with it are shooting? Performance you’ve experienced?

I’ve read a lot of good things about the 143 ELD Precision Hunter load. I’m going to start with it.

I've also got a T3X Superlite in 6.5Creedmoor and it's a great rifle. For ammo I've had a success with Federal Fusion and Hornady Precision Hunter.

Had great luck from Hornady Precision Hunter 143grain This works great in my Ruger American.

Said it before and I’ll say it again ..... there’s something about that 143gr ELD-X that just works in every single 6.5mm rifle I’ve seen it loaded in from .260Rem - 6.5CM - 6.5x55 - .264WM - 26Nosler. I really do think Hornady put some magic voodoo in those bullets.

To be honest, I haven't fed either of the 6.5CM's I've owned anything that they *didn't* like. Both have shot very well with everything I put through them.

Actually, I’ve have the 147 ELD-M be more emphatic than the X or the Hornady 129s. I realize they’re ‘match’ bullets, but they’re cup and core, the creedmoor doesn’t drive them THAT fast, and deer anatomy isn’t THAT tough. I haven’t gotten great expansion from the Hornady and ELDX at extended range (>200), and I’ve yet to not get an exit from broadside or quartering with the ELDM, from 30 feet to 370 yards, and expansion, damage, and impact time to hit the dirt time has been far better

I was within $50 of buying a Ruger American 6.5 CM Saturday. I sure liked the feel of that gun BUT the ammo choices they had sucked bad. Trying to find any online is wasted time, LOL.
I did have a discussion with a friend. He said that the 6.5 CM is too hot of a round here in AL to do any good. He has had mostly pass through shots with them running off a ways. I told him my Son's 260 has shot a lot of deer and very few, with a good shot placement. has ran off. Still, got me a little hesitant about the 6.5 CM but reading from above, there are some decently heavy bullets available. I still may go back and get that Ruger........................................... Your friend doesn't know what he's talking about. The 6.5CM is far from being a "hot" round. The lightest factory loaded bullets barely break 3000fps...and that's Hornady's Superformance loads. Most are in the 2700-2900fps range.
