6.5 Creedmoor Ammo Test [Best Group I've Ever Shot]

[@WHOTEEWHO]

What is your favorite 6.5 Creedmoor ammo? In this video I test out five different loadings in a Winchester XPR. TrueTimber Camo HERE: bit.ly/3nIQFPe Crimson Trace Scopes here: linktr.ee/whoteewho

The American WHITETAILs

[@dangle0921]

I have 2 boxes of the hornady black 140gr. If you find some I would be curious to see how it shoots in your rifle.

[@dangle0921]

I got a savage axis xp 2 hardwood in 6.5 creedmoor. I can't wait to find a couple different types and weights of ammo so I can see what mine likes. Great video as usual brother. Sending you good ol Texas vibes ✌

[@nasirbhamjee7339]

Loved the 140g Remington core lokt and federal fusion. Now using hand loads with Sierra game king 130g and nossler RFD match 140g.

[@chrisaerts6489]

Hornady Match 143 grain in my Bergara

[@sickboy703]

Gonna be honest, I woulda called it at that first 3 shot group and dropped the mic. lol

[@blakerich741]

Hornady ELD-Match 140 grain groups the best in my 6.5 creed rifles

[@chrishelms1967]

Same here Blake

[@treckon3112]

Same here 5 rifles tested

[@carpentryandguns6752]

Agreed

[@travishimself1973]

Same for me and I've tested and continue to test just about every one I can find. The 147gn version are not great interestingly.

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

I've been shooting great with SST's in my 308.

[@johnknouse8846]

I resisted the 6.5 craze for as long as I could, and now I feel like an idiot! Bought a Savage Precision in 6.5 creedmoor last year, and it is amazing! With most factory ammo, it’s sub MOA, and with my hand loads, it’s sub 1/2” MOA! Best group i shot with my hand loads, was using 140 BTHP and IMR4350. It was a 5 shot group at just under .2” (.18” center to center, .45” overall). Just finished working up another load using those same bullets with Superformance powder that shot a .32” group today! I still have some Hornady 140 grain ELD Match bullets, I haven’t even started working up a load with. I may shoot out the barrel I’m having so much fun with it!

[@cpe111]

Of course, now its 6.5 PRC :)

[@rickringler5021]

Same here, said I would never jump on the band wagon. My Tika T3Lite in 6.5 Creedmore will be here in a day or two.

[@RMM--uv7uk]

For factory ammo. Hornady 143gr. ELD-X and 140gr. ELD Match. Only thing I will shoot out of 6.5cm

[@adamlohman6206]

Precision hunter 143gr is the best factory ammo I’ve ever seen. 11fps difference between fastest and slowest over 20 rounds. OAL .002” deviation. 2 randoms pulled and weighed 2 charges. Same exact weight. Weird powder though seems like a combination of multiple powders.

[@300mag83]

That is some damn fine shooting my good sir. That’s coming from a 3 gun firearms instructor. I am also a 14 year police veteran a former swat team operator. But I’m impressed with the rifle the ammo and the shooter. I don’t think if I’ve ever had a group that nice. That was impressive for sure. I love your channel. And as always this was a really fun video.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Appreciate you watching 🙏

[@300mag83]

@@WHOTEEWHO of corse your content is always the best. Your a redneck like me. We are rednecks but we love to shoot things. Only accurate rifles are interesting.

[@georgerucker9263]

I built 2 AR10S in 6.5 Creedmoor. The hornady eldx shot the best groups for me. Best group was under a half inch at 100. Stayed under a half inch at 200 and 300. The Winchester silver tip stayed under 1 inch also.

[@tbone67gthenderson78]

Nice shooting wtw ! My 270 Winchester model 70 she loves 140 grain Hornaday only

[@chrishelms1967]

I said it the other day...... Factory rifle, factory ammo....... ridiculous results...... guys used to dream of results like this and would spend a fortune chasing it

[@christophersasse9955]

I bought a 6.5 creedmoor from palmetto. I loaded up several hand loads, after 30 different groups of 5 shots. I found the 143 eldx, with 41.5 grains of H4350. This is my dialed load.

[@Chrystalsdad]

I would like to see you do this again. But this time allow the barrel to cool down between groups. The reason is for instance there Bergara barrels are known to get a little noodley when they get warm. Not sure about your Barrel but it is possibly the reason the other rounds were so "haphazard for a Creed more"

[@joshmann9916]

It’s funny I too was shooting my 6.5 today. I had very similar results. Lighter the bullet the worst the group. I was able to score some sellier & bellot 140 grainier fmj from local gun shop for 20$ box that actually shot pretty good. Best groups were Winchester match 140 bthp. The federal non typical in 140 were really good to. I’m just excited to get to smell some gun powder again. Was scared to shoot since I couldn’t find any ammo for 2 years…keep up the good work really enjoy watching your channel.

[@hondarider2067]

Have not jumped on the Creedmoor bandwagon yet but the 6mm sure has me interested. Good shootn.

[@6creeder688]

6 creedmoor all the way

[@paulcrow4827]

My Creed loves 140-gr as well. I shoot Nosler Partition hand loads. 2,700 fps on average at 4,300 feet elevation. Killed the biggest buck of my life with it last November.

[@freedj27]

My Ruger precision likes the Hornady American gunner 140 grain. In the past, you could find really good deals on it. Was priced more like a budget round. Not really a hunting round, but fun to shoot.

[@Daniel7.62]

I just bought a browning xbolt in 6.5CM. And I’m in the process of finding witch ammo it likes. Hopefully if weather is good I’ll be testing ammo this weekend.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Very nice

Hornady ELD Match in my Tikka T3x superlite patterns well. Hornady Black may have been even better if not identical grouping

[@clintonlayne9253]

Got to Love the Federal Fusion my 280 Remington certainly does.

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

Absolutely awesome. I hear everyone talking about Creedmoors. Gotta get me 1..

[@bdapyro8399]

I can't wait to try out my 6.5 creedmoor

[@Backyard_hunting]

My rifle, rem 783 also chambered in 6.5CM loves the 140gr, federal fusions are fantastic. But now that I am reloading, it really likes the small rifle primers over the large rifle primers, brand not so important. Have tried multiple brand 140gr boolots and all group about the same under 1/2moa. Factory rifle, no mods besides a silencer. Staball 6.5 H4350 both great hardly difference between the powders accuracy and speed apart from the charge. Great stuff WTW my brother and I watch your videos religiously

[@thomaswall4285]

Hey, I am so glad to see you testing the winchester. They told me that anything 1.5" or better was their service ceiling meaning if you could not get better than 1.5" then they would repair or replace. Otherwise if they got 1.5" group you were stuck with it. Take care and the 6.5 likes you. I agree with the message before me that you are a great shooter.

[@garrettforchrist2700]

Excellent shooting! That thing is a tack driver with those 140 grainers!🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲

[@ryanoros9562]

Great video and good shooting I really wanted you to pop off another three rounds of that Federal Fusion just for confirmation.

[@robertg3592]

Bought the exact rifle and 4 Boxes Of Fusion after watching this video. Has a great trigger and told Beggara sourced barrels. “Who tee who”

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

That’s an AMAZING group

[@Notreallyme377]

Most rifles in 6.5 CM have fast twist rates and like heavier bullets. 140 grainers and up always worked best for me

[@MattWaller04]

Wow that Fusion is IMPRESSIVE!!!

[@6creeder688]

Next box will not shoot the same guaranteed

[@chaleys8089]

My tikka also does well with hornady American whitetail. Then again hornady created the 6.5 cm. Thanks for the video 🤙

[@peterg7009]

My tikka loves both the ELD-X and 140grain BTHP. 2nd is can be bought in bulk at a great price.

[@edwardcharles6552]

favorite channel to watch when im on break at work

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks Edwin!

[@jimdavis3273]

I haven't had anything to do with the 6.5 Creedmoor. I use Nosler Accubond long range 142gr, Hornady 143gr ELDX and Woodleigh 160gr PP SN in my 6.5-06. So far I've been able to get one inch groups and under if I do my part with all 3 bullet weights. I've got a 24 inch medium contour Douglas 1-9 inch twist barrel on it.

[@michaelcady9936]

you don't need one lol neither do i

[@jimdavis3273]

@@michaelcady9936 I don't have any intention of getting one. There's a lot more calibers out there that interest me way more than the Creedmoor.

[@joshp8395]

My son's savage axis 6.5 creedmoor groups Hornady match 140 and the American whitetail 129s really well. And well as some cheap sellier and bellot 140 grain soft point. We got some nosler 140 gr accubonds to try in it as well as some Winchester deer season XP 125 gr.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Awesome!

[@russellk6415]

I have an xpr in 243 and a Stevens 334 in 6.5, and no matter which ammo i shoot in them, I've never shot over a minute of angle. Both are amazingly accurate. Will have to say the Stevens with the walnut stock is a beauty, though. Both are extremely well-made rifles for budget prices.

[@CraigDaniel1965]

Other than Hornaday, my #1, you've got me turned on to Norma Whitetail. It gave you the best group from your .308 (my least accurate caliber rifle)

[@bryanreavis2047]

Federal Fusion has always grouped really well for me regardless of caliber. It’s an awesome deer round as well. Kind of an underrated round if you ask me.

[@fredsiegfried1707]

I've been wanting to try a creedmoor for 3 years. That's a beautiful rifle !

[@phild9813]

Would be super curious to see how repeatable that Fusion group is!

My Ruger American Predator 6.5 creedmoor REALLY likes the 129 gr hornady, but especially in the Superformance ones. Browning 129 gr also shoot great

Impressive WTW, nice round, nice rifle, nice shooting!

Thanks for watching SJ!

[@billhamm8619]

Norma whitetail tears a heck of a hole in deer. Used them last season and blew the chest out right behind the shoulder of a little button buck

[@kennethhlavik8155]

Your rifle definitely loves that first Ammo. Great shooting!

[@ralphfrench2924]

Nice shooting, both of my 6.5 cm shoot 140 grn very well, mine did not like 129 grn at all , had really good luck with 147 grn too. Impressive little Winchester 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@spaceaddict5484]

I'd love to see you shoot 200yds or more with that xpr and the fusions

[@pastorjosh44]

Hornady Precision Hunter 143 gr ELDx for me. Best group was 5/8”.

[@douglasreeves9938]

Great groups! Just a thought, keep both eyes open when using an optic or iron sights. Peripheral vision is greater and no muscle strain on the other eye. If you feel the need to close the weaker eye, use an eye patch. I do this mostly when using my telescopes, not so much my firearms.

[@garrytalley8009]

Really? If one has a dominant eye and it isn't a shooting eye you will have problems. Both eyes open works when one has a dominant shooting eye and not using a scope. Great idea for shooting a shot gun at game birds mostly.

[@terryleblanc6868]

Two of my grandchildren both right-handed training them to shoot left-handed because left dominant eye

[@2S1L3NT]

Uhmm, sure... with irons, a red dot, or a scope at 1x... but it does nothing for you at magnification. During which the eyes are trying to see two completely different things at the same time. That's similar, but worse, than saying you should train to focus on the front sight of your pistol AND the Target at the same time. Have fun shooting cross-eyed.

[@TommyboyGTP]

That Scirocco is made by Swift. I'm very shocked to see how that grouped since it's one of the best hunting projectiles ever made.

[@phild9813]

It just goes to show the preference of a rifle to a load. Swift makes great bullets. I used a 350 grain A-frame in 45-70 for quite a while that was very accurate.

[@bobshwd65]

Great video. Maybe try cleaning the gun before each brand test. Then see if that makes a difference.

[@waynecastleman1363]

Man that Fusion worked really great , hard to beat that ! Thanks for sharing . Stay Strong 💪🙏🇺🇸

[@scottr2597]

Remember, the 140g Norma Whitetail, you had a bad trigger pull on the one shot that went a bit to the right. That gun really likes 140g bullets!

[@merlinnorris817]

Enjoyed the video as always just picked up some fusion and 308 haven't had a chance to use them yet

[@ronburnett9421]

I love 6.5 in any caliber, got an old custom G98 Mauser with a 5.6x55 barrel, best shooting rifle I own. Have acquired a Ruger precision, Ruger go wild, and a Savage 10 tactical, all in 6.5 Creedmoor !

[@10-4CodyWade]

While I am somewhat relieved that my personal best group is better than .272", I can say with confidence I have never come close to that with factory ammo in a factory rifle. That is outstanding accuracy.

I am getting 12" groups at 700 yards! Federal 135 grain Berger Hybrid Hunter! literally cannot miss with these even at 3 MOA wind adjustments at 700!

[@nebraskaman8247]

I’ve heard the scirocco bullets are excellent, although generally require handloading with some tuning for them to shoot.

[@joelmorgan1871]

For as cheap as the norma whitetails are selling near me I was surprised how accurate they shoot in my rifle. I have not found any store bought that group as well as my handloads but hornady percision hunter 143gr eldx comes very very close. The leads I caught in ballistics gel expanded nice too, I'd hunt with those hornadys without a second thought. Haven't shot the ballistics gel with the norma whitetails yet but if they expand good I'd have no problem hunting with those as well. Still cold wet and muddy in my area, once it warms up and dries up I'll be out shooting those normas in the gel

I picked up a Savage axis in 6.5 creedmoor at a local walmart and a box of 129 grain and was putting rounds thru the same hole at 100 yards.

[@garyshrum2076]

I use the Winchester Match 140 gr. in my Tikka Tactical and in my CVS Scout pistol. Great ammo and great groups in both firearms. Some say never hunt deer or other large game with match ammo but the Winchester Match 140gr. Hollow point flat puts them down. You need to get a CVA Scout Pistol in 6.5 Creedmoor and give it a try. It outshoots my TC Contender and has a lot better trigger pull. It’s nothing to ring a 10 inch gong at 200 yards using a Burris 2-7X scope.

[@garrytalley8009]

It is easy to get sub-MOA with a 6.5 Creedmoor. Really good groups will be .5 to .75 MOA or less. It is an accurate cartridge period. If one has groups over MOA at all they are bad loads for the caliber.
