Thread: 6.5 Creedmoor... 123 or 130 or 140?

Out to say 400yds speed rules, after 400yds BC rules

Just been looking around a sports shop in Houston

Europe is King,when it comes 6.5 competition shooting,they've been doing it for a very long time. The long 6.5 projectiles seem to defie even their own ballistic-bounds. Some rifles wont stabilise one weight, and then will stabilise something much heavier, that they technically shouldnt. You can check out all the swede {norwegian} 6.5x55 data, and you'll find endless info that you can adapt to Creedmoor. Dont chase speed, over the sweet-spots. Try also; setting your projectiles much further back than all the people in this part of the world say. European competitors often start 2mm off the lands, and work slowly forward. 6.5 projectiles often prefer a "jump", and primer-pockets last longer, with way less chamber pressures. Have fun..
