[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2966613, member: 104437"] You can, "Speed up" the 6.5 Creedmoor with, 130 Grain Bullets, like the 130 gr. ELD-M's or 130 gr. H-VLD Berger's and get, 2,800+ FPS easily with, StaBall 65 and they do seem, much Quicker than, the 143 gr. ELD-X's that, I currently use as, a Hunting Load at, 2,730 FPS. . A couple of Big, Bull Elk have been Killed, in Southern Idaho by Ladies with, the 6.5 Creed ( factory 143 gr. ELD-X ammo ) at under, 400 yds and both, Elk, DRT. I see, a lot of "bashing" on this Bullet, lately and have wondered, IF possibly, Hornady had, a Bad Run of. Bullets or, if they used the much thinner "M" Jacket, material by accident ?? What Velocity do you get from your ELD-X's used on, your Elk ? I got spoiled with, My .270 WSM launching 140 Bergers at almost, 3,200 FPS ( a Baby,.. Lazer ) with Bullet still going, OVER 2,000 FPS at, 800 Yds. [/QUOTE]
