Do deer prefer the 6.5 Creedmoor? - Page 2

" 100 gr. American Whitetail ammo in 243 produces 10.3 ft. lbs. of recoil energy in 243 Win. American Whitetail 129 gr. ammo in 6.5 Creedmoor produces 13.3 ft. lbs. recoil. 30% more recoil + increased muzzle blast is significant. "

Like I said but with actual numbers, now do you believe it?

You moved the goal posts. You listed 129 Creedmoor data. 120 will be much closer.

I give the deer in my woods a little .300 blackout out of a pistol because it's a small woods & the longest shot I can take is about 100 yds. They don't like it, they just jump take a few steps & fall down but it's all I got that's legal. As long as it does the job I guess it's ok. LOL
