Question for 6.5 Creedmore Shooters

[dreever]

What kind of real world accuracy are you getting with the 6.5 Creedmore? What bullet/powder combination, velocity, etc. no turn or what neck diameter?
Thinking of building one over the winter for the Ground Hog Match game so it has to shoot in the high ones to low twos to be competitive at 500 meters. My current 6BR with Berger 105 VLD's will do this but I'm looking for something that might buck the wind a bit better on those blowing days.

I have one built Lawton 7000 with 30 inch barrel. I have not developed any loads but have shot 0.28 groups at 100 yds with 140 gr factory loads (hornady). Got to spend a little time at a range in Utah that had gongs out to 800 yds. I dialed in the calculated hold over and two adjustment shots put me on the 600 yd 6 inch gong. I have been very happy with it in my limited shooting. Hornady also put the load data on the box to help duplicate the load.

I have two rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. One is a LR-10 DPMS semi-auto and the other is on a 700SA Rem action. The best accuracy to date in both rifles is with H4350 powder. The LR-10 likes 140 AMAX bullets and the Remmy likes 130 Burger VLDT's. The LR-10 will consistently shoot under 1/2 minute. and the Remmy in the .2 to .3 range. Best group to-date with the Remmy: a 5 shot group @ o.069" with an ES of 5fps!!. In my opinion, the 6.5 Creedmoor is a very good cartridge capable of match winning accuracy..
