Fellows, you know what I hate about the 6.5 Creedmoor? Owned three, one was a light weight freak that was all but impossible to shoot. Both my son and I tried working with it, simply could not be steadied.
The other two, (and this is what I hate) anything you put in them would shoot well. Virtually every bullet, every powder, why one of mine, using Superformance and CCI 200 primers would shoot the 143 ELD-X showed a velocity within a couple of digits what it would shoot the Hornady Precision Hunter factory rounds using the 143 ELD-X. Use a 144 grain Sierra, puts three in one hole or almost next to it, group after group, swap to a 144 Berger Hybrid, puts those right next to each other, if not on top of each other, at the same point of aim, group after group, go to ELLD-X…Same thing. Other rifle, put 144 Sierra’s, get ready cause you are going to be shocked at the lack of the size of the group, move down to a 130 Sierra, same thing, change over to a 130 Berger VLD, same thing, same point of aim as the Sierra 130.
Yet, I am now out of the 6.5 business, moving to 6GT. They are easier to put on target, but dang, I miss the consistency, the accuracy and the good ole ease that the 6.5 Creedmoor’s displayed. Call me stupid I guess.
The 6.5 collection, one is now a GT and the other is for sale elsewhere.
