Hunting & Fishing 6mm Creedmoor, 103 Gr ELD X: Terminal Ballistics (AZ Javelina Hunt)

[mckchome]

I recently picked up a 6mm CM and have been anxious to get it into a hunting scenario. This weekend was the opener for AZ rifle Javelina in 18B (near Wikieup). Here are a few pics of the pig and the exit wound created by the 6mm CM. This shot was taken at 347 yards, and from a 16 degree down angle. Load Data: 103 ELD X, 41.7 Gr H4350, Peterson LRP brass, CCI 250 primers. 3210 FPS

The exit wound was about 5-6 inches wide. It destroyed most of the vitals, broke both shoulders, and then exited. Feel free to ask questions.

Man, thats a hell of an exit. How fast is the load?

Edit: thanks for the report!

I’ll assume you mean 3210.

Yes, that's right. SOrry, late night head still fuzzy after hunt.

Nice shot. Huge exit wound. I'll bet he was DRT. I also have a 6 Creed, will need to pick up some 103s.

Yes that’s True. The shoulder broke and so it just dropped and then died quickly. I hate itnwhen they suffer so thankfully this one didn’t take ling to die. I’ve been really happy with the 103s

Nice... 3210 is moving right along...

Wow that is a larger exit wound than I would have thought.

@mckchome how long is your barrel?

 

[Bayoubigcat]

Wondering the same HTX...I’m shooting 108s with the same charge in Starline Brass and getting 3080 FPS in a 24” Bartlein.
