If your main purpose is hunting, then the 143gr ELD-X Precision Hunters or 129gr Interlocks might be a better option to explore if you go down this path.

Have you tried the new S&B 140gn yet? I have a few on order, but they will not be here for a week.

Nope, only different types of Hornady so far. Please let know how you find the S&B 140’s once you get them.

Well, I exaggerated some... I have 900 coming in a week...

So here is hoping it is not an epic mistake.

I’m running a 6mm Creedmoor for my comp rifle. 25" 1 in 7.5 twist Bartlein. Using the 110gr Sierra Matchkings in it @ 3,080fps, OAL to the lands is 2.780". Very accurate with basically no recoil (weighs 7.8kg and has a brake) which makes for easy spotting of shots and fast follow up. I’ve had a 243AI, 6XC and 6x47L, the Creedmoor is my favourite so far but that probably has a bit to do with the rest of the setup too.
