Effectiveness of 6.5 Creedmoor on game and live tissue

[@elijahharris4035]

It took a long time to find a video that i was looking for most videos aren't educational just bulshit and a waste of time this was pretty good thank you

[@50StichesSteel]

I made an error with this video...The bullet weight is actually 129 Grain instead of 120 Grains..More specific "Hornady 129 Gr American Whitetail" if you're looking for this specific round....Thank you to a viewer for pointing that out in a respectful manner..Happy Hunting!

[@kpd174]

50 Stitches Steel that deer looked a little stiff

[@jerrywells8072]

50 Stitches Steel , the 140gr. more than likely disintegrated & turned into LITTLE pieces that look like course ground blk. pepper, they are known for that lucky you got enough penetration to kill that deer... By the way where (state) was that buck shot??? it has a good size body compared to the deer we have in Florida......

[@cbizkit7272]

129 grain American whitetail not "hunter" and it's a 143grain eld-x not 140, unless it was a 140 eld-m. Nit picky yes but if you're doing videos to help people find ammo get information correct my friend

[@sgtdarkness1]

Steel Man......so what’s nine grains anyway? And by the way, it’s illegal to kill a deer on your own property.....didn’t you see the comments from that dude from I guess California? It’s true cause he said it was.....

[@50StichesSteel]

It was the 140 ELD's. The 143X's didn't come out till after this video

[@patwarson217]

Well I've been watching videos on the 6.5 for over a hour so far trying to decide if I want one I believe I will buy one today,buds guns has one camo stock,cerakote, and a votex scope Mossberg patriot 4+1 capacity for$398 thanks for sharing the video

[@AP-zw6ql]

Thanks for explaining the reason for the "messy" shot. I've been thinking about using the American Whitetail but your video initially concerned me. I thought the mess might have been caused by the bullet breaking apart and "shotgunning" inside the deer. Seeing that it was just shot placement and the round held together put me at ease.

[@Chase_H]

American Whitetail is a great round I shoot it some in a 30-06 and 7mm 08 and the deer rarely move on either one. I got Winchester Deer Seasons for my 6.5 but I think it'll do just as good of a job because I've used them in other guns before

[@mr.mr.3301]

I’d like to see the weight retention of that bullet.

[@50StichesSteel]

I don't have a more precise scale to give exact weight but it's sitting at 7 grams with it flickering to 8 grams depending on how it sat on my letter scale. That's roughly about 120-123 grains. So mostly intact with probably just a few shards of copper jacket missing.

[@ourlifeinwashington4114]

Thank you for sharing. There's not much like this on here so I learned alot. My next gun.

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

Using a Light. Where are you hunting. Do you have depredation tags?

[@richardpaul1114]

i cant't believe you said you shot the deer with flashlight in the Dark

[@50StichesSteel]

Just to get people fired up..I have a bolt action rifle that weighs 11 lbs..Its physically impossible to do that lol..I was exaggerating on how early it was

[@jimbigboystoys4077]

@@50StichesSteel You were exaggerating? So you were NOT using a flashlight? Nobody is throwing out any accusations or anything. But you got THINK about you said! I mean I’m sure you could understand why people would draw such a conclusion. It sounded like you confessed to the whole world that you POACHED this deer!! It’s just one of them things that would make people go “Hmmmm” 🤔 BAD CHOICE OF WORDS MY FRIEND

[@50StichesSteel]

I don't write scripts for any of my videos. I just turn my phone on record and start yapping lol. I talk to the camera how I would explain things to a friend. We exaggerate stories to make each other chuckle and we know when each other is exaggerating. Especially when it's not the point of the video or subject....The point is the effectiveness of the bullets. I really don't care what someone who has never met me thinks of what I am doing...Think of those things like troll bait. I say things like that in other videos. When someone gets caught up in one thing that has nothing to do with the subject of the video I know what their intentions are and have fun with them back lol...No worries man, I broke no laws

[@richardpaul1114]

@@50StichesSteel all good here Brother i do appreciate you telling us about the bullet

[@jasonsliger5430]

He'll be tender and good eating. Looks like some of our Louisiana deer.

[@jamesmarker1548]

Allot of states let the farmers spot light the deer that are eating their crops. They get so many tags a year to do it.

[@rmrider92]

James Marker you could still make a half assed attempt to make an ethical shot instead of blowing its guts out

[@50StichesSteel]

Ethical shot is a quick kill..The deer died in 5 seconds. Dropped in its tracks...How is that not ethical?

[@rmrider92]

An ethical shot would be a shot where you know where the bullet is going to impact and make a quick kill, if you accidentally lodged a bullet in the hip of an animal it wasn’t an ethical shot. Even if you got lucky and took out one lung and punched a hole in the diaphragm it would expire in 5 seconds.. it was a lucky shot that anchored it and When entrails are involved it spoils a lot of meat very quickly

[@daknations4330]

Will there be more 6.5 creedmoor ammo test? Very interested. Subbed. Other good rounds out there in 6.5. Remington core lokt, Winchester XP, Federal Non typical, economy S&B soft points.

[@williamskudder6707]

You might mention bullet weight a few times ( 120 gr was mentioned once).

[@50StichesSteel]

Huh?

[@marioromano6555]

Maybe you could try loading a Hornady 160 RN for a Brush shot or a Bigger Animal like Bear ...Elk?

[@mr.mr.3301]

[@troytownsend4708]

Even though you eat the meat, it is still a challenging activity that releases the stress of every day life. i.e a sport.

[@50StichesSteel]

Definitley...The KZbin overlords tried taking my video down awhile back. So I had to make some changes to the video and a quick statement so that it's just age restricted now instead of completely gone...Trust me I enjoy the thrill of the hunt just as much as the next man. Instead of hunting Taliban I now hunt my dinner. Thanks for watching.

[@michaelkrueger5518]

I’m no game warden but that little guy didn’t have a tag.

[@50StichesSteel]

+Michael krueger I butchered him myself

[@steves9285]

50 Stitches Steel you still need to tag it

[@50StichesSteel]

Dont worry your panties, it was tagged

[@bradddavis1790]

Not all states have tags like NC dosen t have a tag you put on the actual deer but it is definitely illegal to spotlight

[@PeeweeSmalls]

Yeah I haven't even seen a tag in a couple years....Missouri is electronic tagging now. If you have the app and kill a deer you simply hit "notch" on the app and it verifies you have officially tagged your deer.

[@MrNiceKnife]

I’m looking to hunt with this round. Was some of your meat spoiled on this deer?

[@50StichesSteel]

None of the meat was spoiled, but I did ruin the tender loins just because the angle and path of the bullet. I recommend a match bullet for full penetration and a cleaner meat if that's what your after. It gave me a blink of an eye kill with good shot placement. The lead tip hunting rounds did more damage but it wasn't necessary to take a whitetail

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

Hopefully the vegan zombie hoard doesn’t come and thumb down this video.

WickedSensation I'm sure I'm gonna get an earful from them😂

[@50StichesSteel]

WickedSensation I love how they act like our species is too superior to eat another animal... Welcome to the way the real world works lol... I even hear it from meat eaters that have no problem ordering a burger from McDonalds but don't like when I kill a free roaming animal and eat it lol

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

50 Stitches Steel people against hunting should go see how cows are harvested or Lamb. They won’t because they are true cowards. I think you know I despise how soft our people have become. Eating an animal you killed gives you a connection to it that you can’t get from meat and sawdust burger from McDonald’s. We are designed to eat meat, we have canine teeth for that sole purpose. 2 out of 3 meals I eat a day are with some type of meat. Plants are for fat chicks trying to be skinny.

[@50StichesSteel]

+WickedSensation Couldn't agree more.. I like veggies too, but as a side to my meat lol

Point is I don't believe Hornady makes a 120 grain American Hunter as you said.

+Sir Maxwell Good call! You're right. I looked at it closer and it is 129 Grain.. I may have to get my eyes checked😂

[@sirmaxwell646]

That's a good weight and bullet for deer hunting IMO. Great penetration!Thanks for showing its performance!

[@50StichesSteel]

+Sir Maxwell It definitley preforms as advertised too.. Great expansion with good penetration... I was really surprised at what the 140 ELD did too.. I wish I could've found the round from that kill to examine what it did after hitting tissue being that it's not a hunting design persay

[@frosty0419]

Match bullets for game?

[@50StichesSteel]

A bullet is just a bullet..It was actually the most effective round out of the 2

[@11jerans]

Poke a hole in its lungs... 10-20 seconds max. Very little pain for the deer, feels the thump of the bullet, runs, does on its feet

[@samuelberryhill4558]

That's called spot lighting there bud what the crap

[@dankuchar6821]

Usually they're called damage tags for dear causing damage to people's property; and so hunters are given a limited amount of tags to go take out the deer. They can spotlight and do other things like shoot before sun up. It's a common practice, and in many places it is absolutely legal.

[@allandavis6821]

6.5 creedmoor really is no different in killing effectiveness, any good bullet design for its game your hunting placed where intended will do it in. When shooting long distance there are so many that still will outdo 6.5 , there are loads now and bullets being made to make longer shots. 6.5 is ok but check out 7mm mag ballistics ,300 win, even 270 win, yes they burn more powder but their bigger diameter and that’s needed to go the distance.

[@50StichesSteel]

I like the distance and tame recoil of 6.5 for follow up shots if needed. I dont do extreme distance hunting so this is plenty for any game in north america

[@allandavis6821]

Yeah you right , I don’t do extreme either, furthest and only shot I made was about 440 on a deer(25 06) I really like it and in reality it’s really a 6.53, when I purchased it I didn’t realize that it is easy on the recoil and does real good for me

[@carlcox936]

Pretty sure that my 270 & 7 mm mag could do the same thing.

[@joshlower1]

Carl Cox yeah but they kick more

[@deepeasttexasprecision6751]

I'm a 7 mag fanboy but I think that round excels at farther distances than the 6.5. For big game at longer ranges the 7 mag is my choice

[@deepeasttexasprecision6751]

But the 6.5 does a lot for its size. Very efficient

Pretty sure holding a light on a deer and shooting is illegal in any state. Also, if you don’t know which way the deer was facing, you shouldn’t be shooting! Glad you want to show information about your loads, but you should really think twice about admitting to illegal and irresponsible hunting scenarios.

msu8989 It wasn't illegal. I had the proper license for nuisance game on the farmers land..Either way both kills were very quick and ethical, humane kills comes 2nd in my book right behind human safety.
