[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1231411, member: 54178"] This year I got two tags to hunt busk mule deer and cow/calf elk in northern Nevada. I'm taking my 6.5 CM Ruger Amer. Predator bolt gun. A 143 gr. Hornady ELD-X bullet should do the job, even on a large elk cow. The bullet is made with a jacket that taper thicker as it goes toward the base and has an inner jacket ring to hold the lead core. This construction should hold together on an elk cow. It will definitely do for a buck mule deer. The lead core is not "bonded" B/C it would require much softer lead to do that, defeating Hornady's goal of a tough bullet. Anyone else using a 6.5 Creedmoor for deer or elk this year? Eric B.
