Many hunters zero a little high at 100 yards to keep the bullet inside the vital zone of a deer out to typical woods and field distances. Check your own rifle at the range before the season so you know exactly where it lands. Why a Soft Point in the 6.5 Creedmoor? The 6.5 Creedmoor earned its reputation with long, efficient bullets, mild recoil and excellent accuracy. Those same traits make it a very good deer cartridge. A soft point bullet is the traditional hunting design: the exposed lead tip starts the bullet opening as soon as it strikes, and the jacket helps control that expansion as the bullet drives through. It is a simple bullet with a long track record in the field. The lighter recoil of the Creedmoor also helps hunters shoot better. Less muzzle rise means you are more likely to see your hit through the scope, and practicing with your actual hunting load is far easier when the rifle is pleasant to shoot.
