Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 6mm Creedmoor

Looking at this caliber. Interested in deer hunting experience.

Our deer , especially does run about 75-100 lbs dressed.
I started using a 105 berger last year for doe culling with great success.
It's DRT on several deer... and it does a lot of damage.
I plan on using some 105 scenars to compare
I like it the caliber so much I bought another one in Ruger predator as my daughter took over my fieldcraft.
Bought some 100 gr Hornady interloks for closer shots.
.

Ballistic twin to the .243, until you want to use long, pointy bullets, then the Creed has a big edge over 99% of factory .243s. That’s all, from a hunting perspective. Right now, ammo for the 6 is generally more available because it’s less popular.

All I’ve shot with mine is a couple of foxes, but my son borrowed it last year and DRTed a nice fat doe with a 95gr LRX.

What I'm looking at is my LGS has a Ruger American Predator package he made up for $695. It includes a Sig Sauer 3-9x40 Buckmaster scope, Leupold Rifleman rings, and two boxes of 108 gr eld match ammo.

I have two 6 CM, fieldcraft and the Ruger predator. The Ruger shoots great, trigger needed some work but overall accuracy is a plus, stock is somewhat cheap but works.
