6.5 Creedmoor shooters/hunting

Last year I hunted with the 100 grain TTSX Barnes bullet and it shot superbly. Since then I have acted on the suggestions of other members in focusing on the OCW. I have found that for my Bergara with a 26" barrel. A ten shot string yielded a 7.6 Standard Deviation with the avg FPS being 3221. I am loading H4350 45.6gr. using CCI BR-2 primers. I am seating them .42 off of the lands. This bullet is good out to 500 yards on steel as that is as far as I have shot it. If I am going to shoot further than that I am jumping up the the 127 TTSX LRX. I wish those Barnes folks would make a 140 grain Bullet. The 100 grain bullet does really bad things to our white tail down here and those pesky hogs. For those wondering, It has never failed to exit on those big boars thick shield. It does some horrific internal damage as well.

.042 off of the lands

I've been working up loads for my .270 with the Barnes TTSX and found they don't like being close to the lands like a Sierra GK does. Looks like you found the same thing. Lots of stuff on the internet about them liking to jump a bit.

I load barnes for all my hunting rifles. They really like that .050 jump to the lands

yes they do, the 100 grain load put the hurt on a big boar hog tonight and on the exit smoked another one right up side the head. A two fer.
