Which ammo would you use?

[jeffreyjwilliams]

My 10 year old and I going on a MLDP deer hunt next week (Texas Youth Hunting Program ). It will be his first deer hunt and he is using a Tikka T3x lite in 6.5 creedmoor. We have practiced with all the ammo below and they all shoot well in the rifle. The blinds are about 100 yards from the feeders. (The likely shot will be around 100 yards)Curious to hear recommendations on which ammo to use? With proper shot placement I know that they will all work well, but wonder what you all think is most effective.

At 100, whichever HE shoots best.
125s probably have less recoil. But more speed.
Even if they are all "just" 1 MOA ammo, at 100, or 200, it won't make a difference.

Based on my experience both the Ballistic Tip and Silvertip will work great. They are great deer bullets and will drop the animal in its tracks with good shot placement.

Stay safe and good luck on the hunt

The Ballistic Tips are great on whitetails.

Out of the creedmoor go with the ballistic tips they're a great bullet at its velocity on whitetail

For Tx deer at 100yds, any of those will work great

Ballistic tip 140 noslers imo

 

[jeffreyjwilliams]

I will try the BTs.
thanks for all the feedback!

One of the ballistic tips would be my choice

Thanks

All 4 hit same point of impact at 100? All of them would work fine. If they all shoot good, next time I'd load up on whatever one you can get a bulk buy on. These days that could prove challenging I guess. Good luck to him on his hunt!

 

[jeffreyjwilliams]

Yeah when we went to practice the groups were all pretty similar and there wasn't a round that really stood out. The Tikka seems fine with all of them. I was able to load up on the core-lokt.

The core locks

Hornady 25-06 Rem 117 gr SST shoot really well out of my Remingtion Sendero and have very tight groupings.
