Back in the Summer, I did a jug test with the Sierra 130gr Gamechanger from my 6.5 Creedmoor. I was impressed with the test and I am still impressed with this bullet.
WV youth day, my son and I found a few does and I admit they wound up being closer than I anticipated. This deer was 51yards away when he shot. The angle of the shot was that she was facing almost straight at us. I was trying to get him to shoot in between her shoulder blades but he didn't quite hit that spot. No matter, the deer dropped and the freezer got filled, minus a little tenderloin you see missing in the pics.
The bullet traveled the length of the deer and I found it under the hide of the hind quarter near the pelvis/tail area. Here's the post shot stats.
51 yard shot distance
130gr > 85.9grs post recovery
.642" post shot expansion
Jacket and Core stayed intact.
Hope to shoot a few more with this bullet in the coming weeks. Ill report back if I do.
