6mm Creedmoor - thoughts and experience

[jimhelmuth]

I'm building a 6mm CM rifle. AP Solus action. 7.25 twist Brux (29") barrel.

Plan is for Lapua brass + CCI BR2 primers + Berger 109 LRT Hybrid bullets + N555 powder.


Comments? Advice? Experience?

Mostly for fun. Max 1k yards.

Not same application but my model 7 6 creed has become one of my favorite rounds.

I have 2. One is a ruger american predator model. I also have a springfield 2020. I like the cartridge. One im using ADG brass with 108 eldm. The other one just settled in 105 vld-h bergers, peterson brass. Both using H4350. I use federal 210 primers. I use LRP only.

Mine is built on a trued SA Rem 700 with a 20in Proof CF wrapped barrel and it has become one of my favorite rifles. Mine was built as a mid range general purpose suppressor ready setup and it has filled that role quite nicely for me. I mostly shoot Nosler 70gr BT's w/RL16 in mine and it stacks them up into some pretty tiny little groups. My daughter shot her first ever deer a couple years ago with it and it flat dumped him on his nose at right around 200yds.

One of my most accurate, non-benchrest, rifles is a Solus action, Krieger barrel, in 6mm Creedmoor. Some lots of the Hornady Match ammo with the 108 ELD-M will consistently shoot 1/4" groups at 100 yards. The load I worked up for it uses Lapua brass, Berger 105 Hybrid, and H4350 powder.
