6.5 Creed w/ 120 gr ELDM Match?

[Taidog1]

No Target - a hunting bullet for Ferals ONLY?? Yes? No? Good? Bad? Ugly?

TIA

You don't mention the rifle model. I have a Axis in 6.5 Creedmoor bought 6 years ago and the first ammo I used in it was 120 grain Winchesters. It shot pretty well, about 1.5 MOA groups at 100 yards. I was able to do slightly better the next range day, but nothing to write home about. Next I worked with some Hornady 140 grain ELD rounds, my groups dropped down to .5 MOA at 100 yards. I have read on another site of folks using 120 grain ELDM's and getting as good accuracy and better, I tried with mine and it wouldn't. IMHO, each gun has a round it prefers, if I were you I would try it and see if the accuracy works for you. Your rifle may prefer the 120 grain ELDM rounds much more.

I don't hunt with mine so I use the 140ELDM's.

You might try Sierra 130 gr Game Changer hunting bullets. They shoot as well as the Sierra 130 Tipped Match King bullets in my 6.5mm CMs.
Bullet performance often depends on the particular barrel you have.
I have multiple Sierra rifles with similar length barrels and one shoots light bullets best and the other shoots heavier bullets best.

For feral pigs, it would not be a good choice. Maybe a ELD-X, but Hornady does not make one
that light. They do have a ELD-X in 143gr which would be you better choice. Personally, I choose
a bullet for ferals more inline with expanding soft points or a bullet like the Sierra 130 gr. Game King.

Can't go wrong with a game king.
