    Is 6.5 creedmore enough?

    Was working today in the yard and heard a weird noise.
    There was a whitetail buck at 10yds..grabbed the closest gun my daughters 6.5 and shot the buck in the heart at 30 yds no exit..wow what a puny gun anybody that says its a moose gun is on glue.

    Maybe a weak load? Who knows but they shoot far and flat?
    I like drinking beer and whiskey, shooting guns, jetboating, love a nice rack and a tight line, I am simply a sophisticated redneck...

    6.5cm is not popular because of the energy it delivers on target.

    Why do you think the bullet didn't exit?

    Stop putting .22 shells in your 6.5.

    Shot so fast that it left no hole. You’ll get used to it.

    I understand you didn't find an exit wound. I was interested in what the bullet did. Why didn't it exit? Did it blow up? What did the recovered bullet look like?
