[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1048131, member: 72601"] Technically yes it is a target bullet but ive used the 140 a - max out of my 6.5 Creedmoor to kill a few whitetail deer and a black bear that weighed in at 312 lbs. Those were with the 140 a- max and none of those critters went anywhere. The most devestating performance ive seen was my dads 6.5 Cm with a 129 sst at 3005 fps on a whitetail buck. I could literally fit my fist on both sides of the rib cage. It was total carnage! He used this same load to kill a big nebraska whitetail. He shot this buck at 500 yards and it was on a dead run. Dropped him right there. But we have found that its easier to get the a-max to shoot tidy groups. We have to work with the sst a little to get tight groups. For some reason our guns love the a- max bullet, it doesnt seem to matter what weight it is they just print tidy groups. Im shooting the 100 a max and i get 1/2 moa. [/QUOTE]
