New 117gr sierra in a 6creed

[bellboy]

Does anyone have any speculation on how the new sierra bullet will perform in a 6 creed? I’m planning on buying a new rifle in the near future and I’m torn between 6creed and 6um. I’m leaning towards 6creed with 108eldm, 95tmk, or the 112 match burner. I know any of those combos will get the job done, fomo has me wondering if I’ll regret not bumping up to the 6um for the new bullet. I shoot more deer than elk, so the dtac really wont be my go to choice. Most animals I’ve killed are inside 500yds. I did kill a cow at 700ish last year with a 215 Berger so the longer shots are not off the table. Figured I start the conversation and see what others think. Maybe the 6creed will be good medicine with the new tmk?

It’s been mentioned several times on RokSlide by people “in the know,” but there isn’t any officially published data on it.

6 Creed would push it just fine. And of course the 6UM would have no issues. If you want a great middle ground that easier to get brass, then go 6 PRC. With an 18” 6 PRC, you should be able to get 3050-3100 fps

Any word on what design it will be? Tipped matchking, matchking x, etc?

Tipped. And “constructed like a TMK” or something like that
