6XC effectiveness on deer.

[Roe]

Have been using the 6 XC a little now, finding it surprisingly efficient even on decent bodied deer. Must've shot 20-25 by now and the 105gr bullets seems to do the same job as any 6,5.

The little 6mm bullets tend to do great on deer sized game IMHO. What bipod is that you're using?

What bipod is that you're using?

This is RPS Titanium - Rifle Precision System. Got it way back when bipod options was a bit more limited, and for the specific purpose of having a bipod tall enough to shoot over clearcuts.

Yes, I'm liking the 6mm very much. Sadly, finding them in stock is a bit difficult over here, always mailorder with the added cost.

What is the difference between the xc and the 6 creed?

 

[Roe]

As far as I can tell: Marketed by Norma or marketed by Hornady. Potential easier availability for the 6 Creed, definitively so for factory ammo.

6mm seems to work amazing for deer and pigs.

What is the difference between the xc and the 6 creed?

6 creed is 1.940 and XC is 1.911 case length. I believe only difference is in the length of the neck.

In theory what will be the bullet performance as against the 6creed

In theory what will be the bullet performance as against the 6creed

Within 50-100fps.
