6MM Creedmoor Dead?

[Wyo37]

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

No 6mm creedmoor?

No 6mm creedmoor?

I've found the same issue in each of them I've tried it in from 6.5 up through 300Rum.

Is there some reason I should expect a different result with the 6mm version?

If so, based on what?

Does a 6mm creedmoor produce the same velocity as an STW?]

I just thought the discussion was about the 6mm creedmoor. And the the hornady 108eldm and 103eldx.

Yes, the 6CM should push them around 3,000-3,200fps if and when Hornady comes out with them. That's just under the velocity I was getting from the 300 RUM and 300-400fps faster than the .260Rem.

And again should I expect different performance from a 6mm version of the same bullet? If so, why?

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

I am curious did you have to add freebore for the 109? I think it would be the best possible hunting bullet out of the 6 creed and 3k or there about seems to be an ideal MV for the hybrids that I have played with. Congrats on the 7 animals, that's a good year.

No need to add freebore. The 109 is my go to projectile in my competition rig and that has a .109 freebore vs the .183

You like to argue don't you? OK. Fine.

You've never used the specific cartridge or bullets being discussed, yet you make declarations about them. You're making a correlation based off of other cartridges you've used, yet don't even provide bullet specifics you used.

Answer your own question. Should you expect different performance from a 6mm version of the same bullet (that still hasn't been documented by you)?

I get it. You come here to argue, so much so you don't even believe your lying eyes when shown proof. Continue arguing, with yourself.

What powder do you run with the 109?

What powder do you run with the 109?

H4350. I've never actually hit pressure with it but my competition load is 3093 fps with 40.8 grains

Well no, you started the argument.

I'll ask again, why should I expect different performance from the same bullets in the 6mm vs all the others I've shot them in?

If so, based on what exactly?

Well since you believe that we need not discuss the actual cartridge (6mm creedmoor) and bullets (108eldm or 103eldx)

Anyone using Hornady ELD Match for LR hunting?

I don't want to debate if we should or not. Just want to know if anyone has any first-hand experience with them on animals?

Here's 14 pages worth of dead animals from all sorts of eldm's, since all are the same. In fact that link includes a post about the actual video I posted pages back. The 108gr eldm, from a 6mm creedmoor at 485yds broke the on side shoulder of the cow elk.

You do nothing but argue about anything and everything, I'm sure actual documentation of the eldm's performance on game will not suffice.

Nice man, thanks for the info!

I'm still waiting for you to explain why we should expect different performance from the same bullets in 6mm.

As for your 14 pages, I never said you can't kill game with them. I personally won't use a target bullet on game because they are too inconsistent.

Even if we manage a one shot kill it doesn't necessarily mean we got ideal performance out of any given bullet.
