Used this on 3 deer this year. All one shot kills. 2 had large exit wounds. One went in front of near shoulder and fell apart on far shoulder. Didn’t make it 10 yards. One double lunged, also went less than 10 yards. Last one was hit a little far back. Went maybe 50 yards. Shoots 5 shots under an inch at 100 yards out of my Tikka.

I used the American Hunter 6.5CM to break-in the barrel on a new PSA Gen3 AR-10 and zero the scope. Started at 25 yards, moved to 50 yards and finished at 100 yards. Utilized a Caldwell Lead Sled at an indoor range. Used this ammo because it was the cheapest and most plentiful I could acquire; went through 3 boxes, shot a series of 20 3-shot groups. In all but 4 of the groups the 3 bullet holes were touching. Did not measure groups but my guess is the average was .5 – .6. Excited about getting out to the Talladega CMP and see what the rifle and ammo will do at 200, 300 and 600 yards.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I used this 6.5 Creedmoor Hornady Whitetail ammo for pronghorn and whitetail the last two seasons. I shot 5 rounds at 5 animals, 3 does and 2 bucks, from about 100 yards out to 240 yards. 4 animals dropped in their tracks with one shot. One ran about 30 yards before it fell. This ammo has excellent effectiveness on game and is reliably accurate.
