Don't sweat the bullet - put it where it needs to go. I usually do lung shots and they may take a step or 2. The Grendel was a neck shot with a 120 Bal Tip

Any of those bullets stand out as having consistent exits from the mid 6.5s. That’s what I’m really looking for without going to the monos.

Thanks.

I rarely have shot a deer with a 129 IL that it did not exit. From close to over 400 yards, they have performed well. I shoot them primarily in my 260 and with a bit more velocity, so they should even be better in the Creed. I primarily use the 147 in the Creed, with the same results.

You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
