Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Creed vs Deer

When shooting factory loads, my Ruger Hawkeye shoots slightly better groups with the 125 grain Winchester/Olin Deer Season XP than with the 129 grain Hornady American Whitetail, but my RAP-P goes the other way. Barrels are like people, every single one of them is unique in its own way.

From my 260 Rem. handloading I've found the 129 grain Interlock to be a great deer bullet. It can't be any different in the Creedmoor.

"Problem" with the Creed, it shoots about everything pretty well, some loads, exceptional. It's one of the easiest rounds to find a good load, IME.

My Shilen barreled Creed likes the 123 Scenar. Good WT bullet.

Like someone posted, Scenar makes it sooooo easy...

Does the scenar 123 gr bullet leaves a good blood trail on deer? Thks.
