6mm creedmoor suggestions

[tbrice23]

Hey guys im planning on building a 6 creed in the near future, it will be on a savage short action. Planning on it being a long range target and smaller big game to varmint rifle. Was thinking a 26-28in 1in8 and sending 105-110gr bullets. Probably run hornady brass for price and availability. I was just curious if guys would chime in with what combos they run and the success their having with them. Open to suggestions foresure. I appreciate any feedback.

If it is not too late, Here's what I went with for brass.

That is almost what my 6mm CM barrel cost.

It should be here this week, can't find many 243 cal brakes but ordered two to try out( plenty for 264 cal that might work).

All the "barrel places" sell the 6.5mm brake for the 6mm flavors. Plus you can use it on any 6.5mm rifle.

Did you know that you can get a 10% rebate with that? How did you find it in a 26" barrel?

That is how the FDE and 10rnd mag model comes, 26" 7.5 twist.

That is cool...the 110's and the 115's flew really well in my 1-7 26" barrel.

It is interesting that the 6mm Berger hunting bullets trump the target bullets BC.
Wish the ELD line had a bit better improvement like the larger calibers improved from the Amax.

I have a Fieldcraft 21" in 6mm CM and have been shooting 108gr ELD Match as that's what was available locally. Very accurate....Very! But the ELD Match came apart on two wolves......the bullet base weighed 46 grs from a 250 yard spine shot so I'm waiting for some ELD X to try.

A great round IMO.

Treat yourself to a box of Alpha brass. You won't regret it!

I hit an accuracy node of 10 shots with the Berger 115gr HVLDs @ 3100fps with RL26 and Wolf LR Mag Primers (it was what I had left in the primer tube).

Do not expect the eldx to completely stay together or behave like a bonded bullet .
