6mm Creed Loads

[Mubs]

Hey I am heading out for a great hunt with some friends in WY foothills for antelope and later mule deer. Was planning on just bringing my 6mm creed just as a change to be honest, I have usually used my 300win or 280AI for most hunts.
Any suggestions on favorite hunter bullets for this trip in 6mm/243?
Thanks

Check this thread out lots of 6mm kills inside. Seems like the consensus for factory ammo is the hornady 108 eldm

In my 26" proof carbon I run 108 Berger elite jumping 30k with 40.4gr RL 16.
In my new 22" 7.5tw ace barrel, I tested 112mb jumping 10k with 41gr H4350, and it shot very well. Using lapua brass in all these with cci450. I used factory eldm 108s in my 22" ruger American, and they shoot fantastic with the supressor on, not so good without, but those run 2850 fps in that rifle. I've also had good luck with the Berger ammo, 105s and 108eh.

I run 115 Berger VLDH in my 6 CM. Have shot 5 animals with it including 2 whitetails (1 Coues) and 3 antelope. All Vitals area shots that did the job with little to no tracking e.g. dead on the ground within 40 yards.

I load the 95 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip in my daughters 6 creed...Its a great killing bullet.

What length is the barrel if you don’t mind? I’m trying to decide how long I want to go with my current build

We have been shooting 108 ELDMs out of our 6 creed. Have taken elk, mule deer, and Pronghorn with them.

I had a few 8# jugs of H4350 3-4 years ago, that'd go 2950 with 105s in a 6bra 33gr. That same lot only needed 35gr go run 110s at 2950 from a gt. The recent jugs I've gotten to the last 24 months, been WAY slower. H1000 too, way slower than my older stuff.

That’s about how old my last 2 8lbers have been.

Iv been trying to let off the gas a bit as I don’t want them going that fast. Should have moved to a br case years ago.

Good to hear, I’m also going to test some VV powder here soon, and I’m giving up on the 6 creed for a match gun. Thinking 6 bra will be my next 6mm.

I'm testing 108 ELDMs and 108 Elite Hunters this weekend. Have loads worked up from 40.5gr to 42.5gr of H4350 to find pressure. Can't wait to get some numbers out of it and see what it likes. I'll be able to test at distance as well. I'd like to use the Bergers over the ELDMs personally.

That load looks HOT from everything I've researched.

My first match gun was a creed, moving to dasher was the best thing ever. Stupid easy to load for and never have to tweak anything. Last barrel I ran the same exact load for 2,000 consecutive rounds

I’m at 42 grains of 4350 pushing the 109s at 2900 from a 16” barrel. I’m sure I’m on the hot side but the brass and bolt lift isn’t showing it.
