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

need pics of that 1100 pound bull............

Here's the best pics I have. I had talked with multiple meat processors up there in Prince George before the hunt and they told me a mature bull elk up there is 1100-1200 lbs on the hoof. My bull was a very old 5x6 who was losing his teeth. I brought home the lower incisors to get him aged.

I probably have 50 rounds down the tube of my T3 CTR 260 20” and I’m getting a bit over 2900fps with a 120 NBT and 46.5gr H4350. Will be going to 600 yards to see how they shake out. Guess I don’t have a slow barrel.

Didn't get any photos while quartering it up, but got a small-ish black bear with the 127 Barnes LRX at 200 yds from an 18" 6.5 CM. Hit the back of a shoulder blade on the entry, front of the lungs, pretty much dropped in place. Good performance, not much meat loss.

Spikefork bull moose
6.5 creedmoor
130 TMK
Impact velocity 2650 120 meter shot

Spotted him on the road. Shot him offhand. He dropped. Was dead when I walked up to him. Sorry no pictures of the wound as dealing with a moose is a real chore. The internal damage was massive. I am very pleased with the performance of this 130 grain bullet. But here’s a picture of a tikka in a rokstok and they rule.

130 TMK strikes again. Nasty bullet.

Bull elk
395 yards
6.5 creed 147 eldm factory muzzle vel 2520
Impact was about 2150fps
Hit him 3 times, first one was a hair back (bad wind call) but took out liver and stomach. Saw impact, adjusted and put second right behind the crease. He was dead on his feet, but decided to shoot a third time as he was still standing there. Third shot hit 3in in front of second taking out top of heart. Complete devastation on onside and blew far side leg bone into pieces. Only recovered 2/3 bullets. One stayed together and second came apart but found core next to jacket on far side hide.
This is impact side.
Liver hit

I'd be happy with that group.

I hate going to the gun range, had two old men tell me I could have done better with 147gr eldx and a tikka, lol it’s a hunting rifle
