First custom rifle, 6.5 Creedmoor instead of 308...

[caramel]

After a suggestion of Sean from NS barrel, i will go 6.5 Creedmoor instead of 308 for my first custom rifle ( Sean gave the choice between 6.5X47, 260 and 6.5 Creedmoor), i did pick up the Creedmoor because i own one TC Precision Hunter in this caliber and got all the stuff to reload for it... Looking forward to shoot that rifle... JP.

I'm looking forward to the 14 threads you will start about it before you even receive it......

Why not... JP.

Got myself the last 8 boxes of 6.5 Creedmoor 120 gr GMX Hornady from SFCR, breaking in the new rifle, while fireforming cases, best of both worlds... JP.

Be like me and get both.

Good luck finding new brass after those 160 pieces are worn out, surprised you didn't just go with the 260 or 6.5 lapua. No shortage of lapua of brass for either. Look forward to seeing it all come together, with you driving, it'll be a hammer out to a mile.

This is my first one, i will se how i like it, dont forget soon a Nemesis 300 WSM will be available, hard to get this one out of my head but if i get sting by the custom fever for sure a 308 will follow... JP.

I may get another 10 boxes (Amax 140 gr) from Prophet tomorrow, they show them in stock... JP.

Glad I only bought 2 boxes when I picked up my Creed. They shot like crap(2moa) compared to hand loads(5/8moa).

A lot of factory ammo in the safe is like money in the bank... JP.

Or is it like the opposite?

Hand loads is the only way to go.

I dont think so, one day you did not have time to reload ammo, you open the safe take 5 boxes and you go shooting, i consider that money in the bank, money is time and time you just save... Capich... JP.

Less and less nowaday but often true... JP.

Maybe I need a better job.

I don't shoot the volume that you do I guess.

Long range shooting today I fired my 300WM 15 times. Seemed like lots.

Put 20 through my .50 BMG today. That seemed like lots... Lol.

 

[caramel]

I'd rather have some in excess so if i am in the mood for more , i wont stop shooting lack of ammo but on my own terms... JP.

Sorry JP, that one even made me laugh. I enjoy your threads as I can't afford that much fun stuff. Looking forward to the range report(s)
