[QUOTE="aebhunter, post: 1266976, member: 72979"] I picked up a 6.5 Creedmoor this year and loaded up some 135 grain classic hunters for my hunting set up. Pushing them at 2830 with some Reloder 16 behind it. Two cows so far with it, one I shot and the other one a friend used my rifle. Both were 300ish (320,330) and both were in the crease behind the shoulder. Both cows expired in about 60-80 yards and the blood trails were fairly prolific. I am used to shooting elk with my .300, so this was a new experience for me. The bullet combo has proven to be lethal, but definitely not a gun that seems to tip them over immediately. Wanting to try some of the 140 hybrids, but not sure if I can expect the same results as I have had with the 215 hybrids out of my .300. Kind of like this little gun though. So much fun to shoot.
