[QUOTE="Roughrice, post: 2362024, member: 118657"] I agree with above. I have been around many who have made the same claims about 140+ grains of Eld-X and Berger (forgot which) bullets out of a 6.5 Creedmoor for hunting. Way too many deer to run off and never found or tracked for long distances. My opinion is... perhaps some drank too much Creedmoor Kool-Aid ! I hear hunters claim they bought a new rifle in the "bad-*** super fast" 6.5 Creedmoor. Then they shoot a deer right thru with no blood and lose it or track long distances while claiming that it must have been too fast and blew right through! My thought and solution is...This is NOT the PRC, 6.5/284, SAUM or Rem Mag so tougher bullets out of Creedmoor will not act as they do with these faster calibers. If someone wants to hunt with the 6.5 Creed, softer and possibly lighter bullets will give preferred results with the speed that it runs. [/QUOTE]
