6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection

[ResearchinStuff]

turns out, hornady's engineers are hard at work making and testing bullets for LE. the list of bullets tested is pretty interesting. no interbond, no sst, no eldx. lots of eldm.

“Ten bullets through one hole,” was the philosophy of J.W. Hornady, the company’s founder. This great idea of accuracy and perfection has continued from the first bullet made more than half a century ago, right through today.

TMK, ELDX, and ELDM are the most common bullets with 6.5 CM or so it seems.
Anyone use bonded with high-weight retention (Terminal Ascent) or all copper bullets with their 6.5 CM or does it need highly fragmenting bullets to perform well?

I don't own a 6.5 CM so honest inquiry.

Thanks

I load 124g hammer hunters in my 6.5 creedmoor, I get them close to 2900fps. I’ve seen my gun with those hand loads deck a few cow moose from ~ 200yds (not me shooting but my gun/handloads). Those bullets worked well, both exited the animals.

My Tikka loves the 147gr ELDM's, and have been more than impressed with the performance on game. Handloads are going 2715 fps with H4350.

147 eld-m, work great on game and are the best shooters, 2700fps out of 24” 110 apex Hunter by savage

I trust trained scientists and engineers paid to make the best hunting bullets they can vs anecdotal evidence from low sample size hunters.
