I am doing a 6.5 creedmore also, but i like light bullets so i got a reamer with .090 freebore so i can touch rifling with 100 grain bullet's. Hope it works as planned !

This was my test target at 200yds. 8 shots with one yanked flier loaded with the 4831sc powder. I still need to play with seating depth as this group did not hold together at 300yds but it still did well.

Looking good Eric”
 
I have that action with bottom bolt release , it has been very good to me so far..... Congratulations on your new build....
 
How do you like the thumbhole stock compared to a non thumbhole stock? I'm getting ready to buy an AT One for my 12 in 6.5 creedmoor. And I'm up in the air whether to go with a thumb hole or not.

I tried a friends "regular" AT-one stock and for me the grip did not feel right. When I seen that they went with the thumbhole design I was in to give it a try, so far I love it. I wish I could get a wider front forearm for it as even the "target" style is really narrow and since I mostly shoot from a rest its a little fiddley sometimes.
BTW if you have a large diameter bull barrel be prepared to do so serious "relieving" for the barrel. I don't think Boyd's intended this stock for large barrel target shooting rifles.

I have two of these stocks ,really getting to like them
 
I just ordered the regular At One got the target grip and forearm. Still not sure I would like the thumb hole. I just have a factor12 FV with a bull barrel.
 
The target grip was only $17 more so I thought I would give it a try. One way or the other I think I'll have a stock I will like.
 
I ordered a Pepper for my Howa with the thumbhole. I think it will be more of a vertical grip and maybe won't have the 2x4 feel that some have said the other style had. Its a couple weeks out so I won't know till it gets here. I wish I had order the wider fore-end but guess I can do that later.
