Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 6.5 Creedmore??

I have been shooting the 120gr gmx factory load it shoots good in my ruger 77 vt

In addition to other "pros" of the 6.5 Creedmore already mentioned, it also has a reputation for accuracy, and being easy to develop good loads for.

FWIW the Creedmore case is nearly identical to the efficient 250-3000 Ackley Improved, which has a reputation for superb accuracy (Sierra tests all their 25-cal bullets from a 250 AI barrel.) There are chaps who say they simply run new Creedmore cases though a 250 AI full length or Type 'S' bushing die, load 25-cal bullets, and go shooting. I still fireform my 250 AI cases "bulletless"(from premium 22-250 brass) but the Creedmore case offers another way to make the 250 AI.

I have zero experience with the creed but from what I've heard and read in gun mags it seems to be a good all around, accurate, easy to load cartridge. But that also describes my 6.5x55 that I've had since 1995. So in my gun safe a creed would be kind of too much duplicity. I could probably learn to love a creed anyway but both safes are kind of crowded right now.

I reckon the 260 and x47 is out, too?

is 3 Creeds and a 260 considered quad-plicity?

I had a RAR Predator in 6.5 creedmoor it was accurate but I did not like the stock, I traded it and thanks to the folks a Whittakers I have a Tikka T3 fluted "super" lite in 260 1:8 twist.

I am waiting on a new bolt stop to convert the T3 to long action and then the creedmoor's advantage of seating long bullets is mute.

sounds like complicate-a-plicity.....
