So these shoot really well in my 6 Creedmoor. Getting 3200 fps with really low SD's.

How are they going to work on deer size game? Will they hold together?
 
Ive laid the smackdown on mule deer and antelope with my 6mm creed and 103 eld-xs

Longest shot was 415 yards and the mulie went about 15 yards and went down.

They remind me of ballistic tips though they explode without alot of penetration. Just my experience.
 
Be careful with closer shoulder hits on large bodied deer or steep angles, but for the most part, they do work.
 
I shot them out of my 6 Dasher. Only one pronghorn buck at 300 yds. Way to explosive for my liking. And that's only at Dasher speeds. Processor couldn't believe I used that cartridge to shoot that pronghorn.
 
I've watched my buddy kill 4 deer with them (6mm Creed - same speed as yours), including one very big-bodied MT mulie, and they performed just fine. One-shot kills, most penetrated. Caught one on an MT whitetail at 425 yards under the off-side skin. 60% weight retention - no jacket separation.
AZ trophy Coues at 270 yards - full penetration, DRT.
