6.5 Creedmoor for Plains Game

[Shootist43]

I was hoping to see the answer that I knew to be the correct one prior to asking the question. Seattlesetters got it right. There is none. Even the time honored 7x57 and or the 275 Rigby when used with a 140 Gr. bullet deliver the same ballistics.

You can comfortably shoot all the plains game with premium bullets is your 6.5 CM. My clients shoot mostly with my 6.5’s (260, 6.5 CM, 6.5-284) cause i know how well they kill and they shoot them well. There is no replacement for shot placement. That combined with good premium bullets is all you need. 130gr NAB, 143gr ELDX, 120gr TTSX or 130gr TSX is what i shoot. No Eland or Sable bull can handle a TTSX or TSX from a 6.5, believe me.
