Second utah spike killed with my Ruger American predator 6mm creedmoor in a week (posted my young cousins spike last week in here taken with the exact same rifle/ammo) Factory Hornady Precision Match 108 ELDM 2915fps from the muzzle and shot him twice at 810yds. Impact ~1700fps slight quarter away as he was feeding. Both entries were about the size of a 50¢ coin. Little further than I would’ve liked but there was very little wind, he was calm and I had a great prone rest. If someone is on the fence about the effectiveness of 6mm/243 on game bigger than deer (me just a couple months ago) don’t worry just make sure you can shoot decent and you’ll be fine!
Did you get an exit at that distance? For curiosity of limitations.
