Is 6.5 creedmore enough?

[todbartell]

Must be a misprint. The 260 holds more water (53.5gn) than the 6.5CM (52.5gn). The 6.5CM allows longer bullets to be used.

Nosler data shows the net h2O capacity after the seated bullet has eaten up what it occupies. The smaller Creed gains a bit over the 260, which has to have bullets seated deeper inside the case when loaded to SAAMI specs

I agree with Gateholio, there is no way that shank could come apart no matter the velocity. That is what makes the terminal Ascent such a great design IMO. I'm glad that there is now an option for all the 6.5 caliber speed seekers looking for for a quality hunting bullet that fills the void between the frangible match style bullets and the monolithic coppers. I built up a load for my PRC with the 130gr @ 3178 FPS out of my 24" Carbon Rival. My ballistics app puts them within 1/4 MOA of my 147 ELD-M @ 3040FPS out to 650, I hope to verify this weekend.

I would say it deflected down and bounced around the insides like a bouncy ball....

Lies only 22lr does that.

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.

I had the same thing happen with a 338 Lapua and a 300gr Accubond on an 6x6 Elk...anyone that says a 338 lapua is good on Elk is on glue...YMMV

Or maybe the Accu-bomb was the problem??

It's tricky diagnosing a bullet "failure" when you don't recover the bullet and the animal is dead from massive internal organ damage...
