[QUOTE="UTGrad, post: 4980536, member: 5116"] I ignored the 6.5 Creedmoor buzz until this past summer when I started looking to add another Tikka to the stable. I got to researching the 6.5 Creedmoor and discovered it’s merits. I bought a 24” barrel Tikka T3x 6.5 and right off the bat it shot Hornady Precision Hunter 143 grain ELD-X sub MOA. I liked the ballistic performance and long range capabilities with very little recoil. I got to witness first hand the killing ability of the 6.5 mm bullet this week. For a couple days we’ve observed a young buck limping all over our lease. I wasn’t sure if he had been shot or was injured. I passed on him the day before but the next morning he stood broadside posing at 235 yards and let the 143 grain ELD-X 6.5 Creedmoor rip. Heart shot and he did a little circle as the blood was pulsating out his side and crashed right where he stood. Count me as a fan of the 6.5 Creedmoor. I know it’s bashed a lot but I think it’s inherently accurate, light recoil and carries a lot of energy down range. Clean pass through at 235 yards. [/QUOTE]
