[QUOTE="Sledhead406, post: 1553385, member: 108747"] Well i built a 6.5cm last winter for a buddy who then fell on hard times and couldn't pay for it. I ended up using it for awhile this fall. I shot it 5 times at 5 animals (not counting testing). Results: 3 coyote between 100 and 400 yds, one shot each. One mule deer buck that was previously wounded. And finally a 6x7 bull elk at 334. Each animal was a bang/flop. I used 147 eld m hand loads i cooked up for accuracy testing. (The elk was an unplanned opportunity). So I'm 100% success rate with a 6.5cm. BUT I still think it leaves no room for error. Bullet choice is critical and must change with shot distance. The creed has excellent external ballistics but the terminal ballistics are not that good for its designed application. [/QUOTE]
