6.5CM AR10 Issue

Padom, JP rifles has a section on his website that anyone shooting a 6.5 rifle should read. the page I read was about AR rifles in 260 REM but I believe the Creed has the same issues. He stresses the 130 and less bullet weight. I tried the 140s and the brass looked like it had been in a war. I eventually settled on Nosler 123 custom competition bullets cause my gun likes them, and it runs way better than before. At first I was pissed cause i couldn't shoot 140s, but the 123s shoot great.

Shooting 140's for sure takes proper tuning and barrel tenon work to get the right feed cone so 140s aren't stabbing into the back od the tenon.

My barrels shoot 140 Hybrids and 140 ELD no problem but I prefer the 130 Hybrid, 123 Lapua Scenar and 130 ELD-M.
