6.5 Creedmoor at 500 yards yesterday. 120 Amax factory ammo. Good stuff! Yeah I know it's only 3 shots. I'll just do it again....  ![[Linked Image]](http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z395/BobinNH1/IMG_0631.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z395/BobinNH1/IMG_0632.jpg)

Statistically PURE LUCK. Ha! Good shooting Bob. I would have quit after 1 shot and called it a 1 hole group.
Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.

Reloading in your case would be a waste of time. Bob what are the particulars on said rifle?

battue; The UA stuff is everywhere and impossible to avoid LOL! I do like the hats! old elk: The Creedmoor is a Rem 700 SA with aftermarket lug; 25" #4 Benchmark SS fluted barrel with thread and cap. Timmy Trigger. Barrel and action work by Norbert Costa of Boise, Idaho. Stock is an Echols Shrike in Edge. Bottom metal is Sunny Hill alloy oberndorf style. Rings are leupold DD and scope is a NF SHV 2-10x42 with IHR reticle. Final assembly and stock bedding by Alex Sitman of PA. I have not yet painted the stock..... One of these days I will get around to hand loading for it. Once I run out of factory ammo.

I always need to handload, it's a major part of the fun for me. Sometimes I think I go to the range and shoot so I can handload again.

I need to handload because when I runout of the magic perfect factory ammo I'm pretty sure I won't find it on the shelf.

The local Cabelas I was at today had boxes and boxes of 120 amax for the creed....I think you'll be able to find plenty.
Enough already, just shoot it!

math man/458: Of course handholds are best ....but this ammo is pretty good. Even jumping around with different lot numbers it's well behaved and accurate.
I am making a bunch of brass,and have dies and bullets. I will load pretty soon.
