Longest Kill 6.5 Creedmoor

[sololearn9]

Last year's antelope was my longest shot so far.....325yds.

525 yards, mule deer, 143 eldx at 2725 fps mv, probably just over 2100 fps impact velocity. Mule deer was bedded, first shot you could just see him slightly roll back in bed on impact, it was subtle, stayed bedded, kept head up and acting normal, second shot 30-60 seconds later hit just behind shoulder, he stood up, hobbled couple steps and fell. Two impacts were about 3" apart. no exits

Yelp I was at 2930 with 24”

you guys are shooting faster than a PRC, is RL26 temp sensitive or why are ammunition companies not using powders that far exceed any others in their products? I mean why would every box ammo with 143 cm be 400 fps slower... how do they even sell it if it's that big of a difference? Makes me wonder what the capabilities of the 6.5 PRC are, I know several guys, myself included that are loading h1000 and pushing high 29xx, same as you guys but with a prc. Must be a powder that's able to push it to 3300 fps if you're able to push the 6.5 cm to high 29xx, right? seems crazy, sounds like several people agree they are getting those speeds, it just doesn't seem right given what I was saying....?

I had a broken in Tikka T3x 6.5 Creed a few years ago that hit 2900 with a 140 Sierra GameChanger over a load of Superformance. Barrel was the factory 24.3” It also was 85 degrees that day. I never hunted with that load. I elected to hunt with an H4350 load going 2700 FPS.

It’s the powder and it seems very temp sensitive as those reading where Texas Summer and had high ED. Winter it also shot tighter., but never rechecked velocity. I never had any pressure signs, with that said my barrel is fast and 24”. I’d have to go back and look at notes on load.

I ended up switching 130TMK And H4350 as it had lot lower SD/ED. And I like the bullet on game better
