Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 6.5 Creedmoor vs 6mm Creedmoor?

1st both the 6mm and 6.5 Creedmoor are good cartridges in a rifle . i hunt a little different than many i sit in 8 ft. stand in a tamarac swamp with 100 yd. ,200 ,yard , 300 ,yard , lanes cut by son and i also use a J8 bombadier to keep chit knocked down too. so i never know what distance that buck gives me shot at ,sometimes it could be 50 yards out to 300 yards ,i will get 1 shot the bucks up here in Northern Minnesota are like Canadian whitetail bucks there just much bigger 200 -350 lbs. i know we have killed them. so i use a fast cartridge 257 Weatherby mag. velocity 3700 -3800 FPS there is no time to mess or play around trying to figure out the distance ,you will get 5 - 20 seconds most of the time to shoot or pass on that buck . so i need a bullet that knocks the chit out of that buck and the bullet stays together and not blow apart at close range the bullet brands i have had great success with in my state and out west are these 3 > 100 gr. Nosler Partitions , 100 gr. Swift A-Frames and these newer 103 gr. Hammer Hunter bullets for around the last 20-25 years now with a fast cartridge like 257 Weatherby mag. have had poor luck with 115 gr. Berger hunting bullets they blow up inside animal on the closer shots , yes Berger bullets kill but i hate tracking bucks in a wet nasty swamp. probably in a slower cartridge / smaller buck Berger bullets like in a Creedmoor cartridge are probably fine but where i hunt won`t use them anymore hunting bigger bucks.

I only shoot them expressly in .17,.22,.243,.257,.264 and .284”. Though barely in 100+ barrels. Hint.

There is nothing “small” in their BC advantages. Hint.

Bless your heart for trying though.

Stick states that he does and shoots everything in the head at over 1,000 yds.....

Keep The Hurt Feeler Reports coming ladies and unleash your very WELL founded Brokedick Insecurities,as you Pretend aloud. Hint.

Do not forget,that Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Hint.

Never know what i am going to shoot here on the ranch, Coyote, Bobcat, Cull Buck,Doe, little Pig, Big Pig, Bigger Pig, I found the Barnes Match Burner 112 gr. out of my 6 CM to be a poor hunting choice from close to far, Accurate as Hell, if you can shoot them in the Ear Hole they work like any FMJ i have never caught one in a critter YMMV.

Thank you! Answers the question, and I appreciate it.

Sounds like the results with plenty of bigger cartridges alright. The detached heart is wild.

I hunt about exclusively with monos as well.

Not the only time I’ve seen that. Just about perfect from a killing perspective.

Regarding preparedness, I have seen 2 guys who traveled a long way by road to hunt in Colorado only to arrive without any ammo for their rifles.

One guy was going elk hunting near Durango and ended up buying a Remington 710 to hunt with 'cause there wasn't any 7MM Weatherby ammo to be found anywhere near enough for him to have it for the first day of his hunt. I don't know how it worked out for him, but I kind of felt sorry that he had to buy a package gun for what might have been a once in a lifetime hunt.

The other guy was going deer hunting near Wray. Like the guy in Durango, he had a rifle chambered for a cartridge without any ammo available anywhere close by, a 6.5x55. I loaned him my spare rifle, a Husqvarna in 30-06, and he got to punch his tag.

I'm a long time believer in making packing lists and of checking them twice, but stuff happens even to those who have the best intentions. Having a rifle chambered for a common cartridge when things don't go as planned is never a bad idea.

Comes with hitting the big blood vessels just on top leading out of it?

Doesn't get more "turned off" than detached and free floating lol

2 seasons ago I shot a buck with a 7mm-08 at 160 yards, when I opened him up his heart was untouched but attached to nothing, including the great vessels.

Now on my 4th elk with 6mm/243, I find it to be quite capable. A new 6mm CM is in the works.

It appears that y'all are having fun with Little Twig again. I should really take him off ignore so I can enjoy his drunken, psychotic ramblings as he attempts to belittle folks who he knows are more intelligent than himself. And trying to say someone is "poorer" than he is.....while running a chainsaw for a living. 😂😂😂
Sheet, I'd bet many here could afford to buy the whole side of the mountain he lives on. Pfft....

Cool! What bullet have you been shooting elk with?

If complete pass through's are atop your menu,the 112 MB ain't your Huckleberry,if only because that isn't their behavior pattern. Hint.

Admittedly,few things are funnier than a Whining Brokedick,"flaunting" her Imaginary Pretend Ignore...the "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!!

Imitation,remains THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Hint.

Will a 6mm bullet kill a deer?

Only if no one tells it that it was only a 6mm bullet.

One Fed blue box and 3 with Hrdy 100 gr btsp. All but one has been a deer hunt that became an elk hunt. Not uncommon where I am. I’ve shot a few deer with the hrdy 105 btsp and really like that bullet. The rifles is a fast twist 700 18” barrel. The plan is a 6mm CM 20” threaded barrel.
