6.5 creedmoor for Bear?

[EmperorMA]

Try 140 & 147 ELD-M, 143 ELD-X, 129 SST and 120 & 140 NBT. Your rifle is bound to love one or more of these, so just shoot what it likes best. I always recommend trying some lighter, 120-130gr bullets in every Creed as every once in awhile one comes along that just prefers the shorter, lighter projectiles. Both that 120 NBT and 129 SST are proven reliable killers of game and I'd be happy to use either one of them.

My favorite bullet for the 6.5 Creedmoor is the 140 ELD-M. That bullet basically makes the 6.5CM a great all-around rifle while taking advantage of higher BCs and bullet weight. Awesome killer.

I’ve shot several but only 3 with my 6.5 creedmoor. The first was with factory hornady precision hunter (143eldx), it worked great. The other was a few years later, same rifle but the barrel had been cut for my silencer. I used a 130g accubond which also worked really well.

I just shot one a couple days ago with the 130 TMK.

No. I shot it in the face between its eyes and blew its brains out. It was facing me head on and a downward angle, through super dense aspens. I had the thread the needle between branches and that’s the only shot I had.
