Thanks guys, I was proud for sure.

Hippie
Whats normal for you with that gun at a 1000?

That wasn’t one of those 10 shot groups and pic the best 3 was it? Lol

lol, no I don't need to be something I'm not.
Couldnt hit crap yesterday in the wind, so I went today to see if my gun was screwed up.


Whole target

800yd target immediately before shooting the other one.

Gun is one personally machined. It's a Bartlein barrel, 1-8.7" twist 5r rifling I chambered with a SAAMI spec reamer I bought from PTG. Boyd's stock.

Man the gun shots. That 6.5 that shot my top group is a gun i bought for $435 new on a gun broker auction.

Aren’t ya supposed to aim for the center thingy?

I have been shooting a 22-250 AI which I basically the same as a 22 Creed for over 20 years. The current barrel is a 1:12 twist that shoots 52gr A-max just shy of 4000fps with a healthy dose of H380.

I have another chambered barrel ready to screw on that is a 1:7 twist. Hoping to shoot the 88’s

Not if ur shooting a Creedmoor. U just shot in the right direction and everything dies, even dandelions

Yep,

You have those dialed in, impressive.

I bought a Howa in 6.5 and two Weatherby's, one in 30-06 and the other in 6.5-300 weatherby that had the 1 moa guarantee with factory ammo and they'll do it.
amazing the quality of rifles and ammo being produced today.

Forget about the 25, it's old news, I'd wait until they come out with 233 Creedmoor.

Tight!
What kinda rig?

Is one half MM 500 microns long?

It was just released in 25. Are you referring to something pre SAAMI?

Figured I’d just throw a little extra love in here for the 6.5cm. Hand load with 143gr ELD-X

Mad Mike
We are 4 months into 2025. That's over the hill/ old news/ fud gun to creed boys.

Boy, I guess. LOL.
I am probably better off finding a faster twist barrel for my Fudd 25-06 to shoot the heavier offerings that came out of the 25 Creed development.

I'm just having some with the over hype that goes with the 6.5 CM. I like velocity for hunting cartridges. I think a fast twist 25/06 would have more potential. I think the 6.5 CM is the modern day 308 so to speak. Low recoil, tons of bullets, brass and factory loads available, long barrel life and pretty easy to make shoot accurate. Doesn't really shine in one area but is user friendly. I bought mine just as a fun paper puncher and something to get my feet wet when it comes to reloading. For hunting cartridges I like them to start out above 3000 fps.

I am in the same boat. Speed kills and Fuddy chamberings are still relevant. The 6.5 CM’s performance is very well documented and I have never given anyone guff over shooting what they want to. Just ain’t my thing.
