[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 2126037, member: 112579"] Gosh, I thought if you shot a deer with a creed it was already packaged and wrapped when you got to it!!!! I will add my 2 cents. The OP had some bad luck. Speed kills. I have no use for a creedmoor. 260 remington refreshed. I have lost game from too soft of a bullet but never from one too hard. This last fall I am a smith so I trued and put a lilja 8 twist on a model 70 I lengthened to 3.6. 6.5x300 win mag improved. 3350 with a 140. Just a whitetail right? Shoulder blade at 300 and that is as far as a 142 ABLR got. Never use them again. Coyote bullets from now on. VERY effective on them. The bullet smacked the buck hard enough it was finished but I like 2 holes for blood to run out of. Next year it will be a 140 woodleigh or a partition. Whichever the rifle likes better. This is my second bad experience with a ABLR. The first was a standard 280 with the 150 at 3000. Shot a spike for meat at 200 yards through the ribs and it stayed inside!! JUNK So give me a standard bullet that can bull through. Everyone else can have the tipped bullets. I will make an exception for the standard accubond for medium game. And the new federal long range bullet looks good. [/QUOTE]
