[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2706779, member: 27307"] There is no doubt whatsoever that the 6mm Creedmoor is fully capable of killing whitetail deer. Even the 6x47 Lapua can do a superb job when limits are observed. Part of your investigation of these bullets and loads is to discover the approximate yardages where the bullets will perform. Two things to consider briefly: Wind and 6mm bullets no matter how heavy the 6mm bullets. I love to shoot the 6mm Creedmoor for hunting but I try to keep my distances shorter and not where high winds might be a factor. Energy on target might prove to dissuade you from this thinking. I ran some quick numbers based on my shooting notes and once again found that 500-600 yards is the limit when using my Hornady 110 gr. A-Tips [U]at top end velocities[/U]. Personally, I would consider something in the 6.5mm bullets and cartridges. Enjoy the process! :) [/QUOTE]
