[QUOTE="wildwilderness, post: 1999057, member: 33617"] Here is your problem- At 325 yards the bullet will be going about 2000 fps. That is if your reported muzzle velocity at 2790 is correct? Did you verify that or going off what the box says? The BC for that bullet is g1 .365. The barnes TSX needs a min 2000 fps to adequately open, especially if hitting soft tissue only. I suspect the rifle is shooting a little bit slower? So it was very marginal for expansion anyway. This is what I would recommend- Switch to a lighter bullet, and go Tipped. the TTSX will expand to a lower velocity, and the lighter bullet will help with the velocity. The 6.5 creed is not a magic cartridge, and monos work better with velocity! The 6.5 does fine with heavy for caliber "target" type explosive bullets at the slower velocities, not so on monos. look at the 120gr TTSX load or start reloading your own! [/QUOTE]
