S&B lead free ammo 6.5 Creedmoor

[jb7x57]

tried it on the range today 6.5 creedmoor Blaser r8 120grn 100 yds s&b EXERGY BLUE 4 shots 3 made a ragged hole one 1/2 lower, mild on recoil as well, Only problem I could see is that they only just fit in the magazine due to the overall length
Testing them on sika hinds next week will post results

First pic is exit second is entrance
Second deer
pic is exit fourth is entrance it had also gone through the shoulder blade on the way in
Heart and lungs on both deer was damaged just the same as the normal lead based Norma bullet I’ve been using

Pretty sure Ed at Edinburgh rifles has these in stock. Not sure on calibre but seen them when in today @Edinburgh Rifles

What is interesting to me about those is just how much crap the bullets take into the cavity with them

There was a lot of complaints about non lead penciling through but these definitely expand from my results so far
When I skinned one off there was a fair bit of blood trapped under the skin
As I stated earlier the heart and lungs was damaged to the state that one had no heart just mush
Prefer this though than a pencil hole and then a long look around the wood

My local rfd still has some in stock

Hi @jb7x57 , any more feedback on these 6.5 Exergy Blue bullets since December ? How is the meat damage ? Any experience on roe ?

 

[jb7x57]

Not been allowed on site to shoot due to COVID so I’ve got a lot of happy sika running round
Shot 1 roe doe on a local farm small entrance hole and a 1 inch exit just behind the shoulder did 10 yds and fell dead
Done 2 red stags on local farm head shot so nothing to say about that one in the shoulder entrance was pencil hole exited opposite shoulder 2 inch hole through shoulder fell on the spot
Been told we can go back on site soon so hopefully will give you more information but with rules in Scotland so variable you never know
