What is the parent brass for the 6.5 Creed?
Is it difficult to get new brass for that
and what brass can I use me form the 6.5 Creed????
I won one and not really sure I want to shoot or if I should just sell it.
I have been using a 6.5x284 for a long time and happy with it.
Thanks
Tim
6.5 Creedmoor is based on the .30 TC. You can form brass from a lot of things, but its easiest to just buy it. It isn't expensive for high quality brass and once-fired brass is cheap.
Should be easy to sell NIB. If you're near a SW check them out. At my local SW they have 6.5 CM brass & ammo, and 6.5 bullets stacking up.
In a pinch, you can form CM from 308 or 7.62 brass. GD
Thanks guys. Not sure how I will proceed with this gun.
It is a Savage Apex II. Not high end, but it just may be a shooter.
I am not a real the tupperware stocks though.
My advice would be not to shoot it, as it will probably shoot great. Have fooled with around 10 6.5 Creedmoors, and even the cheapest (a T/C Compass) would average 3 shots of factory ammo in an inch at 100 yards. The most accurate was a Ruger American Predator, which would put five under half an inch with the first handload I tried.
As a more general comment, brass can also be easily fire-formed from .22-250 cases with the Cream-of-Wheat method. I actually did that a little when the Creedmoor was relatively new, before factory brass became so abundant. But the round became so popular finding brass was never an issue....
You might have the ultimate truck gun. Cheap, probably very accurate, good factory ammo available if you don't shoot it enough to reload.
I have a couple Savage Creeds, both shoot under an inch. It would be a fine truck rifle. Brass is plentiful.
