I scoped my Creedmoor this week and took it to the range today to shoot a few cheap rounds of Hornady American Whitetail 129 gr. My goal was to get a feel for the gun then dial it in later with some better ammo. The gun is everything I hoped for. It has next to no recoil, handles well and is a shooter but I will have to lighten up the trigger quite a bit.
After the initial 25 yard sightin I shot at 100 yards and only had a front gun rest since I forgot to bring my my shooting rest. Bottom line - three shot group was .8" and after I adjusted the scope and shot two more rounds the group was .5". And this was with a trigger I didn't like, no rear gun rest and cheap ammo.
I am hunting deer with this gun so if the same ammo shoots well at 200 yards I'll probably pass on the premium ammo.
