I shot an antelope this year with my 6.5 Creedmoor with 143 grain eld-x handloads at 400 yards. The antelope dropped at the shot and the bullet exited. I switched to 142 grain ABLR after returning home, cause that’s what I wanted to hunt with at longer ranges going forward. I’ve killed one 8 point with it this year and it ran about 10 yards. It was a hard quartering to shot at less than 100 yards, so there was no exit.
