Remember, if you're in the highveld we are 1500m / 4500ft above sea level. You will find many stores here will stock 6.5 creedmoor. Many Hornaday as well as Sako, sellier, norma etc. I handload my own and find the velocities are way lower than they should be according to load data. You'll love the climate here we dont have extreme weather appart from insane thunderstorms at times You'll have a great time.
Hey Mr. Who Tee. You will not regret swapping to the Core Lokt. We have lot of old school game farmers here in Limpopo South Africa that don't like the 6.5 CM, but my experience is that you can put up to an Eland down with no problem. Your PH will tell you to use the 30-06 on Eland, witch is definitely more ethical, but dang those 6.5 CM Core Lokt bullets "Moer hard" (Hit hard). Starting to warm up here and the bush veld is dry, so there are no ticks yet. I hope South Africa treats you well. Happy hunting and enjoy your time here.
I have a Bergara B-14 in 6.5 Creed. I wanted to both poke holes in paper as well as animals. It grouped Winchester match 140 grain well. It HATED any type of hunting ammo. .58" with the winny match; 1.75" with most hunting ammo. After a little bit of bedding work I finally got it to agree to group Hornady 143 gr ELD-X, but I have to talk sweet to it first and promise to buy it dinner after.
I remember a year or so ago. You said 6.5 Creedmoor users were hippie, man bun wearing people...come on WTW. They didn't have a .270. Love that rifle, though

Your opinion, a group of 4 are going to SA. We all have .300 Win mags. As a second gun would you take a 6.5 Cr, a 7mm Mag, a .270, a .300PRC? We have all calibers in the safe.
does ur 30-06 imulse have iron sights? a quick detach scipe mount might be nice for stalking wounded game. monsteum sells a 30mm quick detach single piece scope mount. i think ive mentioned it before, but it might be nice for ur hunt. it was on sale on their website for 20 "beans" razorclaw? i dont remember
Great calibres to hunt Plains Game. Maybe just “True” your 6.5 if you are going to shoot over 300 yards. Bon voyage, and looking forward to following your adventure 👍🏻😄💪🏻
I’m glad you explained the ballistic error because I was mid making a comment about it when you said, “let me explain something.” 😂 stay out of my head.
I have the Savage Axis II Precision, and it shoots almost everything pretty well. It loves 140 grain boo-latz. As for hunting ammo, it likes the cheap Norma Whitetail the best. I hand load the 143 ELD-X, but I always keep a couple boxes of the Norma just in case. Have fun in Africa! Are you hunting with Peitre from Impact Shooting?
Gotta ask, why don’t you take the Cva cascade in 6.5 prc. I thought you were shooting sub half moa groups, and the prc has more horse power than the creedmoor. Always videos are great appreciate the info you bring to us.
Really ?? Have you shot both side by side over a Garmin? There was some talk that prc cartridges can't meet the velocity on the box. Not any better than 6.5 CM is all ive heard. Not saying 6.5 CM would be my choice for anything bigger than 150 pounds live weight. I'd be taking 270 win to Africa along with a 338 or 375 H&H
@@kdean8129 Really? Where you shooting an 18” or 20” barrel with the prc ?. Biggest problem is guys getting 6.5 prc with less than a 24” barrel and expecting it to reach its full potential. No different than shooting a 300WM with less than a 24” barrel it’s ballistically the same as a 30-06 if you do that.
Is it the bullet the gun likes or the load I have experimented with min to max loads a grain at a time and different primers , tuning seating depth for the gun nothing seems to make a huge difference. I always load boat tail spire points and am partial to interlocks or interbonds. Pretty sure it’s me not the gun or ammo that needs the work
@@sugargoldy2597.3 fps, 5 shots, 7.2 STD DEV via my Garmin Chrony. It's my hunting rig, so I'm more interested in accuracy than speed. Shots aren't too long here in Western Pennsylvania.
I hope they give you a first day range time and they have a chronograph in your situation so you can double check everything when you get there. Recently heard a story of someone traveling to hunt and when they got to there destination they pulled there rifle out of the case and the scope came off, and they weren't prepared to fix it. Oops
If you can shoot an MOA at 300yds you should be fine. You should study the anatomy of the animals you intend to hunt. I used a 162 grain ELD-X and had great success on 9 animals from 90yds on a warthog to 711yds on an Nyala. 8 of my shots were beyond 200yds, 5 were beyond 300yds. The ELD-X is great but you have to put it in the vitals and not the shoulder. I'd steer clear of lighter bullets if possible.
Also i was thinking of getting one of those new savage 93r 17 like you have like to message you sometime to talk about it and thanks for always replying back big fan of you 👍
My 110 likes 140 and 143. Have some 145s I haven't tried yet. My sons Ruger American likes the 130s. And we would both like the new savage stock made to be a replacement stock for the savage 110🤣😂

Why didn't you film at the public range? We're you afraid is be there asking for the savage axis stock made to be a drop in for the savage 110😂. Good luck in Africa. When are you going. When am I going to get safari videos?
Kind of a room temp IQ you have there aye? 6.5cm and 30-06 is more than capable of taking down anything he's going to be hunting down there. When he starts hunting elephants then maybe he might need to up his firepower. Kids these days I swear. Clueless
I just wish you wouldn't take a 6.5 creedmore on the hunt. Never had great luck with them and believe Eric Cortina when he calls them the 6.5 Needsmore.
That tipped bullet isn't very tough. Simple cup and core. Would not be my choice for Africa. Did you try the terminal ascent, swift Sirocco or even the fusion bullets? I understand you aren't shooting buffalo with this but if the 30-06 goes down for some reason, i would think you would want a better constructed bullet. Just my .02 cents. Have a great hunt!.........full disclosure i work at speer/cci. John
