6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

[woods89]

Marginal at Sea level according to berger.

I shot 156s out of a Creedmoor for a couple years. No stability issues that I could see here at home at 1,000'. 22'' 8 twist, 2650 fps at the muzzle.

I'm trying to remember if I shot them further than 400 here at home, but I know at that range they did fine. Shot them a lot further out west, and never saw problems.

It's probably the most accurate bullet I've shot out of that rifle. I just didn't like being that close to pressure signs.

My experience with the 147eldm has been limited but positive at lower velocities. The photos with the single bullet was recovered in the offside hide of my bull this year. Entrance through the shoulder just under the spine, impact velocity 2050fps. Coke can size lung damage, and DRT.

Photo with 3 bullets- impact 1810fps mature bull. 2/3 broke ribs and entered behind front shoulder and took out heart and lungs. Bullet 3 hit no rib on entrance, liver/lung. All caught just under offside hide.

Perfect data point for the 147 ELDM at 1800 FPS on game. Thank you.

No problem. I have other experiences with the 140 around 1650 but no photos to share. In general the 140 and 147 have performed similar for me at that velocity.
