I’ve tried hard to beat factory 140 ELD-Ms. Not an easy task.
My old Ruger shot them like this repeatedly.
Factory 130 Bergers are about the same.
Yep,
The poster complaining about how sorry factory ammo is, hasn't shot factory Creed ammo.
I can beat it with select handloads, but like you said, beating factory stuff isn't all that easy.
I do want to try the 147 ELD-M, 130, 135 and 140 Bergers. In fact, my Creed was throated for VLD's, I have to bump factory stuff back a tad. VLD's loaded to mag length will just about kiss the lands. That's a bit shorter than factory, but seems to work OK. I wouldn't have set it up like that if I was going to stick with factory ammo.
