6MM Creedmoor Dead?

[Wyo37]

It didn't show the range, I had to get it off of his original post on Youtube.

It also doesn't give us any idea as to the terminal performance other than a dead doe who was obviously not a DRT quick, clean kill.

*cow elk

The flying bomb should have made the "doe" "drt".

Oh lordy, I'll never recover, I called a cow a doe!

No, if it blew up shallow there wouldn't be enough internal damage to produce a quick, clean, humane kill. The animal will simply have to bleed out or have another shot fired to end it quickly.

I'm not trying to be rude. Take from it what you will.

What bullet would you run in for deer/antelope hunting out to those ranges?

105 Hybrid

 

[Damage Inc.]

Both of which would be flying bombs at those impact velocities. Both are far too fragile to be dependable at that kind of range.

Just out of curiosity…. what have you shot with either of those bullets, and what were the results?

105 Hybrid

Have you had any personal experiences with this bullet? I just picked up a 6mm creed and about to start reloading so if you have any first hand experience on game I would greatly appreciate it. I love the 210 hunting vld in my 300 win mag

I know you didn't ask me but I have put together a few 6mm creeds that run the 105 hybrids. They have been used on cow elk and down. Furthest kill was at mid 400s I think I would need to ask the guy I put it together for. The 105 hybrid is a great bullet, I am curious about the 109 hybrid but I think I would have to add freebore to fit it, I would have to check the specs. Give the 105 a try!

Thank you! I was more or less asking anyone! I think I will give them a try if I can ever find any! I'm new to this "small" caliber stuff. I'm a big 300 win mag guy so it's hard for me to switch but I think it will be a great deer and antelope cartridge for mid to close range here in Montana and an occasional elk within 500 I would think.

Not dead but has made dead - target was 300 yards

I'm a fan of the 6mm Creedmoor. For whitetail deer within 300 yards, I would probably select the 6mm Creedmoor over the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Yes I have and found them to be too fragile with high velocity impacts to give repeatable consistent penetration.

What velocities?

 

[WildRose]

What velocities?

Sub 400yds when shooting the STW and Rum. Sub 300yds when shooting the .260's.

Killed 7 animals with mine this year and every one of them was perfect performance
109 berger 3080 fps 350-420 yards
It is a sweet little round and unreal accurate
