6.5 Creedmoor 120gr

[preacher]

For you Creedmoor ( or similar 6.5s) shooters, I have a question. I plan on using the Barnes 120 TTSX for antelope/deer/hogs, etc. Which 120gr cup n core shoots with close to the same data that will work open up coyotes? I don't like zinging solid copper across the plains! Thanks

123 sst or 120 ballistic tip ought to be close enough
Just play with the velocity

120 BT would be an excellent choice. I'm getting 1/4" grps with max H4350

I love the 120 NBT, used it in a 6.5/284 years ago, but so does everyone else, ha. Can't find any in stock!

Midway is out and indicate they're a special run. Like you said I can't find any in stock anywhere

I too vote for the 120 gr BT.
Great bullet in the 6.5 Creedmoor for deer, antelope and coyotes.

fremont, 44 grains rl 17 at 2.710 in my daughters bergara, same load in my buddys custom rig and my nephews tikka ctr, avg 2930 in my daughters rifle with 22" barrel. Awesome deer and antelope load, would definately use it on a cow elk in a pinch. Also having very good results with alliant mr 2000 with 120s in my christensen creed
