If you are referring to the Winchester Deer Season XP in 125g, if it shoots well for you at your max range, you should be fine.
My 6.5 CM harvested WT deer in the last 4 years at 200-250 yards DRT. Good luck!
Yes, sorry I meant the xp deer season. I was looking at whitetail Hornady on the net right before I posted.
@ButterBean - how's your 6.5CM do on whitetails?

I mostly hunt out of a small box blind with a suppressor, so I had my 6.5 CM barrel shortened to 16". I was worried about bullet expansion at longer distances so I looked around and the Federal Terminal Ascent has a much lower minimum velocity for bullet expansion than most (Accubond Long range too, but could not find them in factory ammo). So far, 3 deer, dead. Furthest run was 50 yards with a full frontal shot at 200 yards.
Easy now ………Easy@ButterBean - how's your 6.5CM do on whitetails?

What happened with the 140 Elite Hunter? They have a good reputation, but bullets can do strange things at times.

When I first got my 6.5 Creedmoor I used Hornady Whitetail ammo and it shot well and I killed several deer. After a few year I started to reload and it shot even better and I killed more deer. I use TSX 120's now but the Hornady was a good factory round. Over the years I used 143 ELDX and 130 Gameking and they killed deer just fine too.
