My 6.5 Creed 18" barrel Kimber Adirondack averaged 2850 fps with Hornadys Full Boar 120 gr GMX, 2823 fps with Hornady 129 gr SST Superformance, 2605 fps with Federal Berger 135 gr Hybrid Hunter. I used to be 3000 fps or die/trade. With all the different "range compensating" reticles available I have come to peace with a little less. I have been a reloader since 1976...the factory loads for this rifle has made that obsession a little calmer. I can't live with 135 gr at 2605 fps. This rifle is too much fun to carry.
