I shoot Hornady Match 140gr in all of my 6.5 Creedmoors. It does really well.
I do not load, and was wondering what the best "off the shelf" factory ammo you guys have come across in 6.5 Creedmoor. I do not have the time or space to load so factory ammo (at this time) is my only option. My rifle's primary use is deer hunting.

Yup Hornady 140 ELD shoots great in my rifles.
Wow Rob01, you have had great results with those factory loads. I am definitely going to have to check them out.
TMD brings up a good point. The ELD-X bullets used in Hornady's Precision Hunter line are designed for hunting, but I can't speak to that particular ammo's accuracy or expansion.
ELD X & M both work fine on game. M will hold together a little better than X, so if you want more penetration go M. I have killed deer, yotes and porcupine from 20yds out to 1240. Best hunting bullet on the market IMHO, I am replacing my Bergers and SMKs with ELD as soon as I run out of them. The M have a little less HP cavity than the X which counteracts the SLIGHTLY thicker shank on the X.
6 one way 1/2 dozen the other and both are game hammers.
