I did a load workup for my son's 6.5 Creedmoor a couple summers ago and he used the 130gr to kill 2 deer. Both were under 100yds and both deer were bang flops.
Deer 1 was a frontal shot with entry was in the brisket and the bullet was recovered under the hide in the rear hind quarter. Jacket did not separate from core. Recovered weight was over 65%. Expansion was over double the original diameter.
Deer 2 was 26yds and broadside. Entry / Exit wound were over 2inch in size.
Based on these 2 hunting situations i bought more for another Creedmoor and I also have some 165gr for my 280AckImp. I wouldn't hesitate to load some up in any caliber I load for. Load / shoot / hunt with confidence
