6.5 Creedmoor 124 Hammers

I’m about to order some of these to try in my Tikka. Does anyone have anything bad to say about them? Also looking for some loads that have worked well.

Can't speak to the bullet in question, but bought some 71 gr. bullets for my daughter's .243. I hastily threw together some handloads and the first/only 3 shot group printed .43". They are reputed to be very forgiving of seating depth,. Haven't used one on game yet, but look forward to it.

I have shot them in a Kimber they shoot better than other bullets i have tried in that gun. 2970 fps with reloder 17

I'm shooting them in my X-Bolt 6.5cm, they actually weigh closer to 126 gr than 124. I have them seated .040" off the lands and they're grouping very tight.

I'd highly recommend the bullet. Though your gr and Cal are smaller than my experience, the performance on game is exactly what I was looking for. 30cal 181gr and 196gr pass through on bear and deer with the petals staying inside and destroying the cavity. All were dead within 12 feet of where they were when the trigger was pulled.

Thanks, I have some 16 I’m going to start with. I’m hoping for 3000 FPS.
