Neither are Kimbers, but two different 6.5 Creedmoor rifles I’ve used factory ammo in pretty much liked all of it enough to fall within more than acceptable hunting accuracy.

Hornady 143 ELD-X and Winchester’s 142 Nosler ABLR loadings have been very accurate on the heavy end and the Nosler 120 NBT, Winchester Deer Season XP 125 and Browning BXR 129 were most accurate on the light end.

All of those would be fantastic at 300 yards or less, although I’d probably lean toward that Browning BXR 129 load for that specific application, as it has good BC and good velocity for those distances. Knocks the chit out of deer, too.


What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
