[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2478566, member: 12282"] I shot a big whitetail with 140 Atip out of a pretty hot loaded Tikka 6.5x55. First shot at 120yrd he started running lateral to me, headed for cover. I worried he was wounded or I missed. Fired a second round into him at a run. He stopped then crumpled shortly thereafter. On dressing, initial bullet was 2" from second shot. Not bad wing shooting at 120 yards. Both would have been deadly, but missed his heart and just damaged lungs. Exits were around 2" each. Lungs were full of blood. Dunno. I did not get my best accuracy from the bullet. Doing better in the Tikka now with 143 eld-x. So much more velocity than my creed and accurate too in a 6.5lb gun. [/QUOTE]
