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

[Long Cut]

That rifle is awesome. I got a single shot rifle in 300 Blackout and now want a 18-20" single shot 6.5 CM or .308 as a beater/box blind rifle.

They’re phenomenal little guns, especially for the price. I’d seriously consider the .243 CVA Scout or the 6.5
This gun has killed a truck load of deer and I haven’t owned it for very long.

6.5CM Barnes factory LRX, 450 yard shot watched him drop in my scope, impact velocity should have been around 2000fps... it also appeared to tumble through as the base is sticking out the far side...

6.5CM w/ Hornady ELDX ammo. Honestly not a great shot, but effective enough and follow up shot ended it. It’s been a slow season due to the warm weather, so I was happy to get him. Can now focus on getting my son and other family out more.

Opening morning in Louisiana and put down two doe before 0800. 6.5 creed and the eld-x is the easy button. Both shots today were between 50-100 yards, both double lunged and ran about 40 yards after the shot. Exits were silver dollar size, and easy to follow blood trails. I’ve got 10+ kills with this combo now from 40-330 yards. Makes it hard to want to try anything else.

Not to get too far off subject, but now that TC is back in production, hopefully their frames will come down in price. A 16-18" TC Encore is a great handling gun, both in and out of a blind.

3 shots with Barnes VOR-TX 127gr Factory 6.5 creedmoor. Never found any bullets. They behaved like Barnes bullets. I don't have any autopsy photos because I was by myself and more concerned getting the animal out.

What was the distance? How big were the exit holes?

What was the distance? How big were the exit holes?

Less than 200 yards away. First shot was roughly 125 yards. Can't recall exit hole size but this pic shows the first shot exit foamy blood
