I have been looking into the 6mm creed for my mega maten.
What bullets are people choosing? I like the looks of using the 115dtac. Relatively low cost. However, will it fire consistently well from this platform?
Was thinking a 24" barrel with a rifle +3 gas system.
Starline brass. Load recipes show h4350 is about right.
What are some accuracy nodes for this bullet? At 2800fps, the predicted drop/drift seems very reasonable.
Honestly, being a gas gun and having lathe.. was looking at using 1.2" blanks from green mountain barrel co. Chrome steel barrel in 1:7 twist. A lot of research says either the barrel will shoot or not.
Idea is to set up for PRS style shooting. Comparing the recoil of 6mm vs 6.5mm.. well, 6mm does what I want. Downside is barrel life. Upside - even if it averages 1moa at 600yds, I am plenty happy. The gmbarrelco is relatively cheap blanks.
Looking at lowest cost possible to get started. After a large amount of experience turning blanks, chambering and shooting - one of those high end barrels may not be a bad idea.
If the 115dtac is a no-go, what would you all recommend?
I read the nosler 105 is pretty wide on production variance. Even the sierra 107 seems more costly.
Recommendations, load datas and experiences please?
