6.5 Creedmoor Peak

[mtmuley]

I’m assuming they are loading 7BC?

That and a lot of info with the NAS3 case. Assuming info carries over no matter the cartridge. mtmuley

Advertising 2900 with a 156 grain Berger out of a 20” 6.5 creedmoor whether they actually get that is another story. The handful of 6.5 prc you’d have had to lean on them pretty hard to get 2900 out of a 20”. Plus the 6.5 creedmoor will have quite a bit less recoil

Thanks. Guess I was looking at the 130-140gr published range, and it is under the PRC.

Hype didn’t make me buy any rifles in the last 25 years. I bought that seekins as a good friend had one before me and I really liked it. 6.5prc because I was steered that direction by a handful of friends that shoot way more of a lot of things than I ever will in addition to a giant headstart on years of loading for it. It’s unlikely I’ll ever chamber a factory made piece of ammo in it but you never know.

Sounds like your friends hyped it for you . . .

100%

The hype of a nice shooting rifle, that's easy to get to shoot well, even if slower and smaller, is pretty great.

$4 a shot. That's some expensive rock dusting practice right there.

Closer to $50/box on Midway. Considering probably 95% of hunters shoot a box a year. Not a huge investment. Hell there’s people that pay hammer prices for bullets at $100+/box of 50

Good Point. Guess I've never looked at the factory PRC.
Reloading gets you quite a bit more....but I guess you could probably say the same if you reloaded the new Creed round too.

That's expensive for a .243!

Cool guys don't shoot a .243. mtmuley

More like a .260 rem.

Amen

I was actually hunting a lot before I bought my element with a borrowed 6.5 GAP and lost fps by not going that route. It wasn’t the decision maker. I’m rebarrelling my 6.5prc to a shorter barrel - last concern was losing a few fps.

You’re going to blow a bunch of unburned powder through that ribbed suppressor cutting off another inch.

Sounds like you need a creedmoor

 

[mtmuley]

Amen

Except for me and you of course. mtmuley

Backordered a box of the 153 tmk and a box of the 156 bergers. I’ll try them out for the group. See how they do from an 18” tikka

This thread will be 30 pages before someone post a muzzle velocity, barrel length, group. BootlickerSlide probably has 80 pages on it by now.

Longrangehunting.com has a good thread too if you can weed through the “what do we need this for” comments.

Yeah. Funny. I should actually post over there. Give them guys an aneurism over me shooting a .30 with a big bullet. Powder charge that would make them cringe. With a barrel that is about the same length of their rifle. Haha. mtmuley
