Thread: 6mm creedmoore

I run 108 ELDM's in my 243 Short action with 1:8 barrel at around 3000 fps. No issue with length, I load at max mag length of around 2.8x" 72-73mm.
Lot of US target shooters run these faster.
nb berger 87 gr hunters also shoot really well but I could not get the 105gr VLD hunters to group as well as I would have liked.

So I can say the 108 gr's kill Fallow and goats and red hinds & spikers. last fallow at 120mt walking up hill away from me bullet went through hip ball joint, paunch, liver, lung, brisket, I found the base under the skin at the front of the chest.
For side on shots on goats I feel they get half way through before they start to open up so if I was only shooting goats I would go back to the 87 gr vld's

Hope this helps re bullet performance.

NB I'm sure I could run them up to 3100 fps but I don't need too. Some of the new powders have breathed new life into heavy for caliber projectiles. Hodgdon list >2970 fps for 115 gr in 243.
