Federal 6.5 Backcountry?

[S-3 ranch]

Sounds like I’ll be ordering the tmk, and just enjoying that it’s factory loaded and more mass for the same speed as my hand loaded 130s (hopefully)

We will see how the recoil increase is

Yeah I like that they included a mix of everything, bonded, mono , C&C
And some high S.D & B.C , enough selection for everyone!
IMO something Hornady has strayed from.

No , I am running 140gr TGK right now, and they are a little bit mushy for my taste, so a tmk would be even more splashy

First time I’ve heard that on a TGK. I found them to be too hard producing small wound channels and mediocre blood trails

I want to know if anyone is shooting the 6.5 creed+peak out of their sig cross? It is a slower gun with its 18" barrel. Its also kinda picky with factory ammo. But if you can gain 100-200+ fps out of what is an already handy compact rifle this would be amazing.

I'm planning on trying the Elite Hunter & TMK factory offerings whenever they're available to see if my Cross likes them. Will report back if/when I make that happen.
