6.5 Creedmoor Now Faster than 6.5 PRC-We Ordered All Types

Interesting.

308w next to peak hopefully. Many short barreled 308s out there

If this works well it's going to be really hard to hate on the Creedmoor

More powder = more throat erosion.

What about faster powder vs slower? I think the case utilizes faster powders not more powder based on load data for the 7 BC - it's using the same powders I use in 7mm08. (Could be a combo of more AND faster of course)

Next: Stellite lined 6.5 Creedmoor barrels.

They mentioned the new proof PXT barrels and from what I’ve heard that might help them but who knows until we get some real world data!

If it’s for a hunting rifle, it won’t matter for most because they aren’t shooting 500 rounds a year.

barrel cookers
ammunition operates at 80,000 psi, causing accelerated barrel throat erosion and reduced barrel life compared to standard loads.

Do something like this with 175 grain .308. I run a 16” barrel and already get 2525FPS. Couple hundred more couldn’t hurt.

Can’t wait until they are getting 6.5-300wby velocities out of the 6.5 prc

That's the entire point, it's same amount of powder.
