6.5 Creedmoor?

Something tells me they were talking 6mm creedmoor. The 6.5 will shoot good with a 1:9 up to 140s though depends on length and will loose a little stability and will also most likely accuracy fall way off at some distance before say the 130s would. For a light weight fairly good BC target bullet look at the Serria 107gr match king.

I know that at one time Hornady decided that although the H4350 gave top end speed and accuracy many match shooters wanted something with less recoil for mid-range matches. They loaded the 120/123 gr with Varget for that purpose.
Might want to look there as a option. I know I have a fave load with 120/123 bullets that has light recoil running 2875 from24 inch barrels and it has accounted for lots of game longest being an antelope in New Mexico a friend shot. Oh and no he doesn't know Creedmoor is not spelled Creedmore and I am positive he doesn't care.
Specs on this gun pictured Remington Seven rebarreled by Horizon from 300 SAUM with modified Sako bolt face 24 inch 1/8 twist Benchmark barrel and bedded in original stock. Also granbady killed and elk at 420 yards last season with same load.

1-8 twist?

Buzz, my 6.5-284 shoots the 140s very well at 2700 and 2900 or very close to those speeds for the accuracy nodes with Berger hunting VLDs and it is a 1:9 twist. I was concerned about that twist rate but Cooper convinced me to give it a shot, it works quite well.

the 123gr Hornady SST would be a good hunting bullet for the Creedmoor as it is for the Grendel, decent BC and works on critters and like Dstroud said you can do a light recoil load that works well. I also have some 129gr Nosler LR accubonds that would work well for low recoil loads, that loaded to 2500fps still has more energy at 400 yards than a 243 with 90gr bullets at the same 400 yards.

Nike looking rifle Buzz. I suppose I could buy it cheap after you get about 100 rounds down the barrel but I prefer that little Remmy 223

Where you been BF ??? I'll keep it all tuned up for you.

Good report Buzz! I've been hoping someone would buy one of these and do a review. So far it looks like a great rifle and one that would work very well to haul into the mountains.

You might wait, I heard through the local grapevine the Kroyal would have a custom on the market soon.

Sorry Buzz, didn't mean to change the topic. My bad.

you're good. I heard the same thing

Yea you two old guys might want to get your hearing checked

Buzz, you were telling me about the young guy that asked you why Kyle was selling a stock and barrel and bolt and magazine... Had he heard the receiver had blown up or the gun was worth more as parts ?? I can't remember?

Still waiting to see what the custom mark was?

Been extraordinarily busy with work, selling the McKinney house and renovating the Prosper house. I hope to move in a few weeks if I can get a few days away from the office. Then I can unpack and set up my reloading gear which has been in storage for 4 months now

Good to see your new toy is a good shooter!

looking forward to your new rifle too, lets head to JGs when you get moved in.
