I would be interested to hear more large game experiences too.

Works good on elk, mule deer and whitetail. Mostly with hand loaded 147ELDs. The 127LRX has performed very well too, albeit a smaller sample size.

No coyotes yet with mine... Their timing has been typically Wiley, only showing themselves when I have bigger fish to fry... ;)
 
lol I love this thread. By the way, I've been told, on ###beard Avenue in Edmonton (near the U of A) that the clothes (jeans, c/b boots, American Hat Co c/b hat, that I have worn all my life make me a "Lumber-###ual". Finally, I'm stylin. Used to be that plaid shirts and Macintosh wool and anything Filson were just good solid clothes, but now they are a fashion statement.

Back to the 6.5 Creedsomuchmoor. Good cart within (as with all cartridges) it's limitations. I do personally like the 143 ELDX but that is just my opinion.

Good to see there is still room for ppl with a sense of humour on here.

There are plenty of cartridge and gun name get abbreviated.

30-06 Springfield becomes thirty-aught-six
7mm Remington Magnum becomes 7 Mag
6.5x55 becomes 6-5 Swede
Nobody says Winchester or Remington after .308, 30-30, 270, 223

Lots of people seem to get bent out of shape by the word "shotty" but a few times I've heard wealthy, older English gentlemen refer to their very nice shotguns that cost more than a new pickup as a "fine shotty." Say it with an English accent and you will get the picture. :)

The funny thing I've found recently is if I say I have a '270', someone will always ask 'WSM'?

Another vote for the 143 grain Hornady ELDX - four shots, all under 120 yards, four dead mule deer, only one went farther than 8 yards - they hit real hard!
