Looks like a great new cartridge!

The NEW 7.6 Creedmoor — Best .30-Cal Cartridge Ever? « Daily Bulletin

Leveraging the incredible success of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, ammo-makers and rifle manufacturers have teamed up to produce a bigger Creedmoor cartridge -- the 7.6 Creedmoor. The latest addition to the Creedmoor line gets its name from its 7.62mm bullet dimension. Yep, that makes it a .

[Blue Sky Country]

They already got "bigger Creedmoor cartridges"... They are called:

.45-70 (The fuckin' ORIGINAL Creedmoor)
.50-70
.50-90
.45-110
.45-120

I think some people need to brush up on their firearms history knowledge before attempting to show us the 'flash and dazzle'.

AHAHA...You got trolled.

In a brilliant marketing stroke, the 7.6 Creedmoor’s designers crafted this cartridge to be 100% compatible with existing .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 rifles.

REALLY??? Wow!


Right now as I am sitting here I just thought up a NEW and REVOLUTIONARY smallbore Creedmoor round: The blazing fast and flat shooting 5.5 Creedmoor. It is also compatible with ALL AR's chambered in 5.56x45mm. Wait. Wat.

----------
Now we can repackage those same great components and market them to a new set of consumers reared on the 6.5 Creedmoor.

At least yer' honest...

Now, how do I submit the blueprints and designs for my newly invented 5.5 Creedmoor? I am sure it is going to be a hit with shooters everywhere. Especially AR shooters. Somebody help me out here. I want to make money.

A couple of you in this thread need to look at the fucking calendar.

And I just woke up too. I'll be damned.

 

[Liberator52]

I'm gonna rename my old F150 [300000 miles] F150 Creedmore . It'll feel better.

 

[johnnycat]

Awesome - I'm going to sound OAF telling everyone I no longer shoot a .308, but instead a "7-6 Creed"

 

[armorpl8chikn]

I fargin love it!
But I won't spoil it for the kids....that would be....Savage.

 

[wtmyers]

Gotta be the best April Fools since the bullet cam.

Well now that it's out I can break my silence, 7.6 Creedmoor is awesome.

I've been hand loading for it as soon as I was able to get my hands on a prototype reamer.

It feeds perfectly from standard .308 magazines which is quite a trick. It has reduced throat erosion and somehow they managed to make a bullet as light as the 147 grain 6.5 mm ELD for the game dropping 7.6mm bore.

Incredible.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

As I go back and read the responses it occurs to me I'm getting old.

If I live long enough I may be able to one day sell these kids a 250 Creedmoor.

 

[flyer]

Also 7.6 Creedmoor is easy to fire form and my fire forming load is just as accurate as my once fired 7.6 Creedmoor.

Call your gunsmith and ask them if they have the prototype reamer, you won't regret it.

Some Smith's will even be able to ream a .308 chamber to 7.6 Creedmoor so if you just invested in .308 you aren't necessarily out of luck.

Sorry Charlie. 7.6 Creedmoor is a wee bit shorter than 308Win. Can't just run a reamer through a 308. Mmm....you could do a barrel setback. You can make it work that way.
You are close but no cigar yet.

Look closer at post 24.

These guys can do it. FYI, only use the Mil contact info if you're an operator and plan to stack terrorists with it.

By far the best thing this new 7.6 CM offers is better barrel life than the 6.5CM. Hell, I can't wait to replace my .308 barrel with a new 7.6CM. Was planning on rebarreling it to a 6.5CM but now this is out why waste the money on a 3000 round barrel when I can get a 7-8000 round 7.6 CM barrel and finally get away from that nasty ol three-oh-hate.

 

[Blue Sky Country]

Thank you for posting this.

I am having a blast with this shit today.

Having a conversation with a couple of fellow shooters at work and brought up this topic, while keeping a straight face and being as serious as possible. Managed to reel it out for about 4 minutes, and they finally got it!

 

[Bender]

Doooood. Put yer dick back in yer pants. We get it.

You like the 7.6 Creedmoor.

 

[Blue Sky Country]

LOL my phone was buggin' the fuck out. Fixt!

 

[Nik H]

I went out to lunch and met a fellow SH member today for the first time. Always great to put a face to a moniker. Drank a couple of drinks and came back. Just saw this and I said WTF...and then lightbulb went off....LMAO...good article

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Your phone bugged out?
My phone went nuts! I had like 26 notifications that Blue Sky Country had posted in this thread.

Every time I use a smilie, the screen freezes up for like 3 minutes. Usually I wait for it to unfreeze, then hit 'post'. Today, after it unfroze, holy crap! WTF. Damage control mode!

Curious if anyone else experience this when they activate the smilie tab.

 

[Redmanss]

Using smilies enacts the snowflake prevention feature Frank has built into the Hide.

I love the condescension in your post. Heavy burden bring the only guy who’s smart enough to “Get” the joke!


FYI this is me being a condescending prick!?

 

[Foul Mike]

And what is today Fool?

 

[isofahunter]

Cannot wait to load Varget with a 178 gr bullet, I am hopeful it will stay supersonic past 1000. Always check the facts on 4-1.

 

[MtnCreek]

7.6 creed is still risin at 1000.

I admit it, it got me good. Because it is so subtle and actually plausible. Going by just how bullish the shooting market can be at times, it would be entirely possible that some marketing genius will think up something like this for real.

That is also what happens when you are already browsing and posting even before you have fully left the groggy, just after waking up territory.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

I am having my TRG-22 rebarreled to this as we speak!!!! Very excited. Ah hahahahhaahaha.

Cheers, Sirhr

Local gunsmith will rebarrel your .308 to 7.6 for $100. Guaranteed to look identical to the original barrel and includes break-in. Drop off this morning and pick up on your way home from work.
