Mine will group the Hornady 108 eldm into about 1/4 in. The 6 mm CM is going to be my deer rifle this year for sure.

I have two of the Fieldcraft 6CMs and they both perform like that right out of the box.

I don't buy ammo, I build ammo....so keeping 1k isn't necessary for me. I'll roll more. Yes , heavy TIC.
Ok you were sarcastic fine , but remember this anytime you have empty brass ,you don't have enough ammo and just like there is no such thing as to much money ,there is no such thing as to much ammo. MB

Fwiw I burn through 1k of 9x19 every two months.
I can’t reload 9x19 as cheaply as I can buy it.

I’d probably buy a 6 creed in a Fieldcraft if I could find the right deal. FYI my 6.5 shoots the eld-x well under an inch all day, every day. Give us a range report!
As far as gun shop craziness, I’ve only heard about it. I’ve not stepped foot in one for a month or more. I did call my buddy and he said his store is going crazy with business! First time gun buyers are a dime a dozen right now. Crazy times. I hear tale that even once (self proclaimed) anti-gun folks are buying handguns and home defense shotguns....let’s see how that goes.

WTF would you need 1k rounds of any ammo for?
Hopefully this was TIC. More likely TIA, transient ischemic attack, some folks like to shoot. I continue to twitch when I think about getting the OP's rifle. Seeing your hits through the scope is a concept that haunts this 308w shooter. mike r

WTF would you need 1k rounds of any ammo for? You plan on a shooting war? With who? How's that different than hoarding TP?

Well I ran them, based on new brass and Sierra HP bullets purchased this year, and powder and primers I have at what I paid for them awhile back. Came to just over $.50 each, but of course the brass is a one-time expense, kinda-sorta.
Last 9mm ammo I bought, in August, was some Winny Whitebox HB, in a pack of 1000, all I could find online that day. Those were $.38 each, tax and shipping included. That Winny usually seems to run a bit more than most imports.
Not gonna figure it with current crazy-azz primer prices, since I have plenty, and this nonsense will pass, before I run out.🤞🏻

Has anyone heard if Barrett is going to start making the Fieldcraft again. I called Barrett last week to ask about the Fieldcraft. I was told that they have contracts in place for other guns in to next year but it was possible that they might make them again in 2022 or later. It didn’t sound real likely to me.
