MJR Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Just wondering what real world velocities people are seeing with their Creedmoor reloads, particularly interested in the 130- 140gn range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJR Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 1 hour ago, Deserttech Europe said: Mike .....what are you thinking of??? remember God shoots a .243 Yes he does and I also have a lot of time for the 243 and I don't believe it gives anything away to the newer hot 6's, least not any margin that I can sensibly exploit. The one issue i'm having is spotting missed shots(yes I admit I miss sometimes 😀) on what I can only describe as 'dumb' targets that give little to no splash. There is also less report for a hit at extended range wit the 6mm. From observation the heavier 6.5 cal bullets seem to help a little in this respect. That's why i'm looking at 6.5 and from what I can see in the main from real world users the creedmoor is not offering huge velocity gains over the 47. I already share a 47 with my son but its a right hand bolt so it would seem sensible to stay with 47. Or look at the next step up in performance and cartridge size. Then I think you are entering the realms of recoil V ballistics and ability to spot fall of shot unless used in a heavier rifle which I want to avoid. Interesting that the trend in the US seems to be a move toward 6mm though for PRS comps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
