tell me which is the best round for a 6.5 Creedmore for whitetail Deer? weight and MFG?....thanks!
It's Creedmoor, not Creedmore. Named for a long range shooting club that dates from the late 1800's.......Oops; you're correct. I know how to spell it and that was a famous shooting range down on Long Island NY. But sometimes I have trouble multi-tasking two things at once..... Like trying to type and spell at the same time. Never loaded anything outside that 120-140 gr. bullet weight range for my buddies Creedmoor ( there; I spelled it right) and a couple years ago we used some Sierra 130 gr. Gamechanger bullets with RL-17 powder with great results. Except now those bullets are pretty scarce but those 140 gr. blems from Midway USA are doing real good accuracy wise with H-4350 powder. If the OP is limited to factory ammo the Hornady American Whitetail stuff from my previous post is what I would try if I had a 6.5 Creed and was limited to factory offerings. Although every 6.5 Creedmoor I've ever seen, or reloaded for, seems to be a great shooter with almost anything. That's what folks call "inherent accuracy" and that's what impresses me about a cartridge. I'd probably get myself a Creed if I wasn't already enamored with my 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. I call it a "6.5 Sweedmoor".
The 100 grain TTSX Barnes would be a good deer bullet for the 6.5 Creedmoor at around 3250 fps (24" barrel ) it would a 3" Point Blank Range of 314 yards ... 2430 fps at 314 yards and 1213 ft lbs energy ....

The way some folks criticize the caliber, you'd think it was called the Cried More...It's Creedmoor, not Creedmore.
There is so much overlap between calibers nowadays that you can get people arguing over a .05mm diameter like it matter much when those bullets are going 2900fps vs 2910…. In all honesty just place the bullet where it mattersThe way some folks criticize the caliber, you'd think it was called the Cried More...
