Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why/How does the Creedmoor out run the 260 & 6.5x55?

I shoot a 6.5 Creemoor Rimmed.



My neighbour grows Creedmoors for their juice. He has a big extraction operation on 180 acres. He sells the concentrate to ammunition manufacturers.

I cannot attest to this, but he tells me that adding the liquid to the powder apparently shrinks the groups. Without the juice, the Creedmoor can only manage to group like a 8mm Lebel. But that's him telling me this.

One thing I'll say about the Lebel. The cartridge is pretty, but the rifle and the groups....
