[QUOTE="maseh2os, post: 557673, member: 34354"] Hey, I know you posted this a long time ago and may have already figured this out yourself, but as I just recently used my 6.5 Creedmoor to take my first buck, I thought I would let you know that it worked great! My rifle is pretty close to what you describe. It was my first custom build, using Savage action, 26" Criterion barrel, and Boyd's stock. Leupold 4.5-14x40 CDS scope, Zeiss range finder, click card made with long range ballistic calculator on Vortex website used to determine clicks needed for shot. Ammo was hand loaded, 140gr Berger over H4350 powder. Shot good sized 4 x 5 buck at 480 yds across a canyon in a cross breeze. Big fella took about 10 slow steps then tipped over dead. Bergers do everything they say they will. Cut wind, shoot flat, destroy internal organs. One of the more fun things I've ever done. Hope this helps! maseh2os [URL="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/maseh2os/IMG_0400.jpg"] [IMG]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/%3Ca%20href=%22http://s980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/maseh2os/?action=view&current=IMG_0400.jpg%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/maseh2os/IMG_0400.jpg%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22Photobucket%22%3E%3C/a%3E[/IMG]http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/maseh2os/IMG_0400.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/maseh2os/IMG_0393.jpg[/URL] Second pic is from where I shot.
