I recently bought a Creedmoor from a member on here. For my daughters, I purchased some 140 grain HSM reduced recoil ammo. 100 yard shot on a 2.5 year old Alabama buck entered just at the leg/shoulder bone about 1/3 up the body and exited a quarter size hole opposite center shoulder. Caught bone going in and bone going out. Needless to say, I was very impressed.
For bigger whitetails like in Wisconsin, I would not shoot light bullets in any caliber unless it’s open farmland or wood lots where sight tracking or snow potentially may aid in blood trailing. Down here in the thick South, I want an entrance hole…..and an exit.
I’m not sure what the rifle will do with other ammo, but this browning micro Midas x bolt combo with this ammo is the most accurate rifle I’ve likely ever shot. That being said, when I say accurate, I can prop up on a bag and shoot nickel size dots on a target at 100 yards. No sled, just propped up.
