Are You Getting Bad Blood Trails with the 6.5 Creedmoor? This Is Why

This web page is absolute eye cancer. The horrible scrolling experience, insane number of ads and lag almost overpower how poor the article is

I really like my 6.5 Creedmoor and have killed a number of really nice deer and one big bear with it. I have used 143 gr Hornady eldx for all. All animals died ok. Poor blood trails on some. Only one exit wound. End results are good but I am no longer using these bullets. I will go with Federal fusion or plain old power shok...

I will say that I also use a 3006 and never have blood trail issues on deer with that. However, it's not as fun to shoot... Here's a nice deer taken with the '06...

Man I should’ve let all the deer I’ve killed with 22,6mm and 25 cals read this before I shot them so they knew they shouldn’t bleed.

With bonded 6.5cm the blood trails were poor and they ran a while. since switching to eldm 140 and 147 in 6.5 cm there is much better blood trails and they die a lot quicker often within 20/30yards. I am particularly found of the 147s

For you guys running TTSX, LRX or Hornady CX how are you finding them? Have only made CNS hits so far with the monos in 6.5 at short ranges, especially from this forum!

All thingns being equl, they laying blood on the ground?
