Very late in December 2019 I decided I was bored after 20+ years of custom hunting rifles and handloading for them.

So after a little online education I headed down to the LGS and bought an over the counter CA Mesa in 6.5 Creed, and then wandered down the ammo aisle and picked up a selection of factory ammo offerings.

I've been really surprised (due mostly to my ignorance) with the quality of the rifle, and of the quality of some of the factory ammo offerings.

So, after some 300+ rounds later, I'll shortly be off to hunt camp with this combo to see what happens.

Perhaps after 2020 season I might just handload for it, but then again, maybe not.


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
