What Is The Most Accurate 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo - SUPPRESSED?

If you have a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle and have been looking for what might be the most accurate 6.5 Creedmoor ammo out there, take a few minutes to watch our 100-yard ammo test.
This video is even more fun because we take the CVA Short Barrel out and do some 6.5 Creedmoor SUPPRESSED shooting to see how these rounds perform. You know how much I love the CVA Cascade, so getting the Cascade SB out there was a blast.
Use these chapter markers to see how each round performed.

The gun seems to like the Norma whitetail really well and I think it would do a great job on most game,nice driving 👍

[@ReviewThisThing]

It certainly does! Thanks so much! And thanks for watching!

[@saltcreekammo]

I used to work at Barnes. The Sierra ammunition is loaded at Barnes' factory... Sierra had very tight specs that needed to be followed during loading and testing... Great ammo. All that said, I would try the 127 grain LRX from Barnes if you can. The chef's kiss of 6.5 hunting ammo 🤌

[@ReviewThisThing]

Okay! I think we may have some of that. Thanks as always 😊

[@stevecooper8121]

Every deer I've shot with the Norma whitetail fell straight over, grave yard dead.I absolutely hate tracking deer in heavy cover, and then try dragging them out. Federal fusion has the same results also.

[@ReviewThisThing]

Nice! We’ve loved the Norma Whitetail, too! Need to try the Fusions.

[@Hatch61]

Looks like all decent performers, I’m sure any one of those will put meat on the table. Thanks for the video, great shooting (and spotting), be well and God bless.

[@ReviewThisThing]

I agree! All good rounds! Thanks for watching!

[@joycedimaggio3816]

Great groups. You couldn't go wrong with any of them.

[@ReviewThisThing]

It sure seems that way!

[@mikewilliams8311]

Great job. This video led me to purchase this rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. Looking forward to seeing if I can duplicate your results.

[@ReviewThisThing]

OOOH! Please let us know what you think. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

[@MattC-eo6ep]

Great video and great rifle. What scope is mounted in this video?

[@ReviewThisThing]

I'm pretty sure it's this one app.rockporch.com/prd/HXDMggshaK

[@Michiganredd]

Those Norma and sierra are sweet!

[@ReviewThisThing]

RIGHT!!!

[@randall875]

Me personally I'd use the hornady eld-x simply because of the interlock ring inside the jacket to keep the core locked in place. Norma would be a close second though.

[@ReviewThisThing]

Ah. Good point!

[@artillerybuff2000]

Nice setup, and nice shooting. I love the 6.5 Creedmoor. My wife and I both use this caliber to compete with at our local 1,000 range with excellent results (still have our .308's, they just don't get used as much). However, I load my own ammo using the Hornady 140 grain ELD bullets. Her setup is a Bergara BMP chassis rifle with a Geissele Super 700 trigger, a Sig Sauer Tango6 5-35x56 scope mounted on a 20MOA base, and an APA muzzle brake. Being left handed I built myself a custom AR10 with a heavy Krieger barrel topped with a Leupold 7-42x56 scope. Believe it or not, if I do my job right, it will beat the bolt guns. On a very calm day both rifles can shoot 1/2 MOA at 1,000 yards; unfortunately, very calm days never occur on match day! Thanks for another good video review!

[@ReviewThisThing]

Holy smokes! That's some impressive shooting! Congratulations on that! Thanks again for watching!

[@artillerybuff2000]

@@ReviewThisThing Thanks. It took a long time to acquire firearms that could do this and just as long to develop the skillset...

[@ReviewThisThing]

@@artillerybuff2000 I'm sure! Before we started this channel (2021), we would basically take our rifles to the range a couple of weeks before deer season and shoot them just to make sure they were still pretty close. We've learned a lot the past couple of years but still have a long way to go!

[@sugargoldy]

Good video thank you? How do you like that gun? I was thinking about getting one? Does it cycle the ammunition good like it should with no hang-ups. Oh and by the way I watch everyone in your videos you guys do a great job.

[@ReviewThisThing]

Wow! Thank you so much. That really means a lot, and we appreciate it! I love this gun. We haven’t had any problems with it at all. It’s a super fun one to shoot.

[@Longtrailside]

👍Thell all work for mule deer and smaller, so choose what you can get the most available in your area.

[@ReviewThisThing]

Excellent point!

[@TherealBartcephus]

That Norma whitetail is good stuff, I shoot it in my Ruger magpul hunter 6.5cm and can cover a 5 shot group at 200 yards with a nickel

[@ReviewThisThing]

That’s awesome! They’ve definitely got something figured out.

[@TherealBartcephus]

@@ReviewThisThing I have the cva cascade SB in .308, heading to the range tomorrow to see how it likes the 150gr whitetail Norma’s

[@ReviewThisThing]

Oh man. If the SB is anything like the original, it’s gonna LOVE them!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2KmZpqkqrKYbdk

[@ralphyoung9296]

I was wondering how accurate the Norma's would be.. and AND.. I was thinking the Fiocchi cartridges would be "generic".. I was definitely impressed with both of them.. I watched your vids on your 308 Cascade.. Thanks for sharing..

[@ReviewThisThing]

Thank you for watching! I was also pretty impressed with the Fiocchi. And the Normas always seem to shoot great.

[@TTT-du6oj]

⁠@@ReviewThisThing Fiocchi is pretty good ammo in my experience and they are using Hornady’s proven interlock bullet in that load

[@pikeman0357]

All look great to me where I hunt in northern mi. 100yrds or less my pick would be the least expensive lol😅

[@ReviewThisThing]

Haha. There ya go. The cheapest has killed a lot of deer!

[@barnypt1]

U should prob shoot 5 shot groups because that will tell u more. Plus it will give u a chance to see how they group as the barrel gets hotter as well. I would say reshoot the normas and the fiocchi again but do 5 shot groups and whichever one shoots better go with that ammo…i am guessing the Norma will do better for u

[@ReviewThisThing]

You're probably right. Thanks!

[@johnandrosemarywyatt977]

Go with the best bullet. The fiocci has the interlock bullet which stays together pretty well. The eld-x is expensive and the bullet is just a cup and core.

[@ReviewThisThing]

Excellent point!

[@jmboz]

Can we see a full review of the sb

[@ReviewThisThing]

Yes! Next summer!

[@DylanAdams-ih2wn]

What size objective is that scope? Do you reccomend a 42mm, 44mm, or 50mm objective scope for this rifle for a women to get a proper cheek weld?

[@ReviewThisThing]

So this is a 4-12x50. Unfortunately, from my experience, most "hunter style" stocks aren't going to allow a proper cheek weld for most women. This scope is mounted with Low rings, so I really couldn't get any lower. One one rifle I have, I've used a fabric, velcro-on cheek riser. I've also put a Matthews Cheek Riser matthewsfabrication.com/?fbclid=IwAR1BVNeIcrx3BpQoijD6eOOIs2MGoDu30bsJzBaCjgiW-G08yBGrG1ZS-Tc on one of my rifles, and that works really well. I hope that helps.

[@user-si5bf7fj9n]

The Norma rounds

[@ReviewThisThing]

They don't play around - that's for sure!

[@stephankriel2684]

Wasn’t the barrel still cold with the precision hunters?

[@ReviewThisThing]

It’s possible that we took a couple of shots before starting the test, but I don’t really remember. So, also possible we didn’t 😊

[@fowllab]

I would say the one more readily available.

[@ReviewThisThing]

That’s always a good option.

[@sethmatherne7012]

As far as actual bullet performance within game and at whatever distance you usually shoot, does one bullet construction edge out another?

[@ReviewThisThing]

That's a great question. Out of a 6.5CM we've had really good success with the Precision Hunter's on deer and pigs, but a lot of people will say otherwise. The Norma Whitetail have also done well. I think those are the main 2 we've hunted with. Most of our shots are within 200 yards. Most are within 100.

[@sethmatherne7012]

@ReviewThisThing I have heard much the same. Do you think the bad rap is for any particular reason? Do you go for any particular shot placement? I have a 6.5cm and bought a case of of the eld-x. Would love to hear your thoughts as I have yet to pull the trigger on a deer yet. Maybe next year...

[@ReviewThisThing]

@sethmatherne7012 most of what I hear that they are designed to perform at longer distances but closer in they separate too much. We’ve definitely had some deer not get a pass through and HAD they run far we may not have had a good blood trail - BUT they didn’t run far at all. We’ve only lost 1 (of several) with it, but that was because a shot was taken too far away with a gun that hadn’t really been tested to distance. Shot shouldn’t have been taken.

[@sethmatherne7012]

@@ReviewThisThing excellent stuff. Thank you
