125 grain Winchester/Olin Deer Season XP
129 grain Winchester/Olin Power Point
129 grain Hornady American Whitetail
I like my deer to fall over dead or, at worse, die with 20 yards of the point of impact.
Most of the 6.5 Creedmoor deer that I've shot have died on the spot or within 20' of the point of impact.
The 125 grain Deer Season XP is the least expensive factory load that I've found, about $19 at Walmart.
