[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2691047, member: 25831"] I am a 308 fan as I learned long range shooting it. I hated on the creed because current bullet technology with "the best" bullets were compared to 1990s technology with the 308. Fast forward to earlier this year, out of frustration with a wildcat not living up to it's hype, I picked up a Proof 6.5 creed barrel for an older Savage.... Why did I wait so long!!!??? It is a case designed right...To shoot the heavy 308s you need to do a littel extra, the creed just load from the mag and go...It takes a lot to keep a lighter weight hunting rifle shooting big heavies out of a 308, I think it is the torque on the way out of the tube. I still love the 308. Hard to not have one in the safe, you know for when the zombies come...hell you can pull ammo of a gun truck in a pinch... For my guns this is what my numbers work out to. 308 Win [B]20" barrel[/B] 215 Berger Rl16 @ 2493 FPS at 1000 yards Vel 1430, E 976, Drop 10.1 Mils, Drift [B]1.9 Mils[/B]. With a 24" barrel, this would do even better with the wind 6.5 Creed [B]24" barrel[/B] 140gr Berger HVLD Rl16 @ 2743 FPS (RL 26 will be next-thanks [USER=72601]@Creedmoor shooter[/USER] ) at 1000 yards Vel 1467, E 669, Drop 8.7 Mils, Drift [B]2.0 Mils[/B]. With more velocity from Rl26 this would do better too. I recently tried some Staball 6.5 in this 308 with 200gr Sierra Game Kings and believe it or not, pressured out!!! I have not ran into pressure with any of the others I have tried as I ran out of case capacity first. May break in to the stash of the 215s and give it a go. However with the lack of these, it is hard to justify them in such a small case when the RUM shoots them so well, so far... [/QUOTE]
