143 eld-x is good as long as the deer aren’t right under your stand.

What’s a good bullet for hunting whitetail with 6.5 creed moor?

143 ELDX seems to be the ticket
Now next question does anyone have any to sail,sell,sale or trade?

Don't have any extra but if you can find it go ahead and get a few boxes if you can.
I've shot 7 deer with my Bergara using them and every one of them either folded up like an accordion or ran just a short distance. All about placement!
Don't need no blood trail if they fall where they stood
So is it that they don’t penetrate deeply and leave exit wounds? I usually use 165 grain hornady interlocks in 308 and they usually leave a baseball size exit wound
You won't go wrong with the Hornady 143G eldx but do your research. I'm just telling you from my experience
And if I'm not mistaken the 6.5CM cartridge was designed around a 140GR bullet but I could be mistaken
Yes they do
I have shot 2 bucks with the ELDX. One at about 160 yards and the other at about 100 yards. There was a fragment that exited on the first and no exit on the second. Neither left any blood trail. First one went about 25 yards. Second went about 50 yards. I prefer an exit wound and a blood trail. That’s personal preference. I am a fan of Interlock bullets but never used them in 6.5 cm.
