Anyone built a 6mm creed?

[Alanh]

Thinking about changing out my 308 to a 6mm creedmoor. Has anyone built one yet? If so, how has the reliability and accuracy been?

People have been been shooting it for about a decade now. Many thousands here have built them. It’s just a necked 6.5 CM. A ballistic twin of a .243 win. Like the .243, it does everything you’d expect it to do.

I like my bolt action 6creed, just wondered how it did as a gas gun.

I built one, aero upper and lower with a Brownells branded barrel. Added a superlative adj gas block and some Drexel on the feed ramps to make it work reliably.

That’s some of the problems I was wondering about. Thank you for what to look out for.

Ran a 24 inch proof CF in a mega maten upper, Ran 100%, Super accuracy, Turning it into a 308. 6C Barrel is for sale.

It is my favorite large frame caliber by far. The only con is barrel life. Depending on the barrel extension may need to avoid the berger 105, so thin they can slip between lugs and get meplat damage. Hornady 87, 103, and 108 all work fine. Sure lots of other bullets work also. Just haven't tried them. So far have used larue and lancer mags. Might test KAC just to see if I like them better. Barrels to look at are Proof, JP, and Craddock for the 6 creedmoor.

Here’s a before and after feed ramps. Between that and the adj gas block I’m close to 100% reliability

JBailey a member here built one but is having problems getting it to feed properly. You might contact him.

Yeah, depending on the barrel extension/feedramps, there can be issues with running the 105’s or other heavy high BC bullets.
