[QUOTE="Roughrice, post: 3051298, member: 118657"] Speaking of the 6.5 Creedmoor… I've had a Factory Rem 700 Gen 2 5R in 6.5 Creedmoor since they were introduced and always thought about rebarreling to something else. I've shot it occasionally with ammo that was loaded for other Creedmoor rifles and it's always shot pretty good. Well… yesterday I pulled it out of the back of the safe and decided to finish a load for it to see its full potential. My first try shot well with these less expensive Hornady 140 HPBT seated 20k off and fit the mag perfectly. After it shot this I decided the barrel will stay on. It shoots as good as my other factory 308 PSS. This is the final load in a 3 shot group. Could have shot more into the group but would have only wasted components and made a little bigger hole! 😁 [/QUOTE]
