Issues with 6.5 Creedmore?.

[zebra26]

Right, do not get me wrong here, I am not knocking the caliber. I don't reload, anything, yet. However I have considered the 6.5 in a new rifle purchase and then I came across this video. So is there an issue, was there an issue. Don't know, you guys tell me.

Interesting....I've only shot factory ammo out of mine since I haven't owned it long and don't have dies yet.
Only used three types of ammo and no problem but now I want to go measure the head space and see.

I just think Santa was tired from a busy xmas season.
Seriously though anything is possible, but the 6.5 Creedmoor is not new anymore. Lots and lots of people shooting them very well with factory rifles, as well as with custom barrels. I have a Savage Stealth in 6.5 Creedmoor, I'm still doing load development, but it wants to hold 1/2 MOA or better out at 300.
My last range session sucked, weather was poor but it is winter so.... having said hat, while doing an OCW test, 6 different powder loads produced 0.45, 0.65.0.67,0.75,0.84, and 1.22 with a pulled round at 100 meters. Best has been a 4 shot 0.345" group. Have not tried adjusting seating depth yet, mag length only.
I would buy another one no matter what Santa says.

Love the 6.5 Creedmoor.

All I will say is the 6.5 Creedmoor is a SAAMI certified cartridge with dimensions and loadings well documented and published.

If a manf makes a mistake or chooses to vary from the specs, that is up to them. .. and their lawyers.

Reloaders and shooters will always need to verify what they have and what they are going to use. This applies to any firearm.
