Sig cross 6.5 factory ammo?

[glockguy-187]

Just curious what kinda luck you guys have been having with factory ammo out of the sig cross in 6.5 creedmoor. I understand reloading would be a better option, but im looking for factory ammo options and the results you've personally had. Thanks

S&B 140gr FMJBT works well in mine

I have yet to have a deer walk away from a well placed Hornady 143gr ELD-X. It'll run sub MOA in mine.

Nope, never bothered to. Rifle was mostly bought for a deer/coyote gun with a max range of where I hunt being between 2-300 yds. Shot well enough at those distances for me not to worry about the speed, but just make good hits. Got lucky I guess and the dope I used in a Tikka CTR in 6.5 I had works well enough on the Cross.

Factory Hornady with the 143gr ELD-X clocks in at approx 2650fps at the muzzle on my 6.5 Cross.

The Federal Gold Medal Match loaded with the 130 berger works great.
