I've gotten bit by the long range bug and looking to either build another rifle or convert my existing midrange rifle (6mmbr). I felt fine at 800 and 900 with the 6mmbr but at 1k and high winds, I was getting blown all over the place.
Let me first say I don't want to neck up/down brass or turning necks, the reloading process is already bad enough lol. And I a brass snob, HAS to be lapua brass.
With the 7mm bullet selection becoming better and better, my first reaction was to build a straight .284 shehane (180gr smk). BUT I have to fire form brass and I don't want to.
So either the 6.5x47 or the 6.5cm (150gr smk) are both good rounds and don't require fire forming and the dreaded "doughnut".
The 6 creedmore really has my interest as lapua just started making brass a few months ago. Its certainly faster than my 6mmbr and I could use my stock of 107gr since I have lots on hand and eventually move to the 110gr.
Anyone have experience with the 6 creedmore? Just wondering if the accuracy is there like it is with the 6mmbr or the 6x47? I need it to be a true 1/4 moa gun and not just a 3 shot group(60 rounds minimum). Major factor is the ES(under 20fps) and SD(under 5fps) to avoid any vertical stringing at distance.
