6.5 creedmoor
Sako AII action I bought new in the white.
McMillan A-3 sporter
Douglas #5 because I was going to flute the barrel but changed my mind.
And of coarse, a fixed 6 super chicken.
Had this completely done before the AI but some how it got put on the back burner.

Just a thought but maybe a 10X SWFA MQ would be right at home atop of that one.
I was thinking of getting rid of the Night-farce and putting a 10x on this one.

Douglas #7, 8 twist finished @26" I fluted it in the mill.
This one shoots 140 bergers very well.

How's the Creed' doing,thus far?..................
Needs tweaking, the first 5 140 a-maxes down the tube were moa @100 with a 35.8 gr charge of varget. Can't get the 123s to group under 1.5" yet.

Scenars....
Not familiar with that bullet. 130 bergers are out because of mag constraints, I don't want to modify the factory mag box yet if I can get a-maxes or accubonds to shoot out of it. Didn't spend much time on it, Just randomly pulled powder and charges out of the manual to start with.

Backed off the charge a little on the Creed and the groups tighten right up with the 123s.

Very sharp rifle and stock. I wouldn't mind some more pics if you have the camera out one day. Congrats!
I need to buy a real camera one day and learn how to use it. Iphone pics suck!

You are stupider than you look, and that's not really your fault, other than you pawn your stupidity off on folks that don't know any better... no pun there..

Acquired another 500 rounds, why not try it on a 100.



Whats the worst that can happen, have to scrub the bore down. Been expending primers and the groups are tightening up.



It seems to like Varget over the other three.

Took the creed to the cinder pile and was able to wack a few bottles at the 866 yard line. Had the AI there for the nephews to try their hand at a few bottles but their attention span was very short and lost interest when they couldn't hit any thing after the first few shots.

Molied up some 123s to shoot out of the creed. Would like to load it with some of that lever and get to the range this weekend if the weather would cooperate.

Didn't blow any primers out at the max of 39 gr I loaded. The group definatly tighten up from the group at 38gr but nothing to write home about. Any pressure signs in that pic I'am missing or can I work up to 40?

Didn't have much luck with the Lever so I messed with H4350. 44.9 gr put the 5 moly coated 123gr Amaxes into this group.

Going to leave well enough alone and get some speeds on this load.

Looks like that previous group wasn't a fluke. This group with 4350 is satisfactory also.



Might as well moly the rest of the Amaxes and load them up.

Getting the warm and fuzzy, and appreciate the help. Went back thru some notes and the groups were not as tight with nekked boolets using 4350. All groups were hanging around 1" plus.

Hard to say from the small pic but it looks like there is some polished crater edges in the primers, maybe even a little polish on the bases near the primer pockets randomly sprinkled throughout. But primers don't look too flat.

From the pic I'd guess your close to the wall......maybe bush the pin, looks like you can see a nice ring around the primer hits.
