I Get that you don't get them.... I have a hard time getting them myself. I guess the point is to insure prober lethality in the ammo used, even though if you do the math, they seems to require you to use canon-shells, to be on the safe side!? Large game would be crown-deer (something like an...

I wrote Berger, and they have the data for the 6,5 creedmoor, but you have to call them to get the data. One can wonder, why they don't want to post the data on paper 😏

I have no idea, but i do not intend to lose permit and rifle, if someone figures out a way! The law here states: For large game you need a minimum of a 9 gram bullet, with an impact-force of 2700 Joules at a 100 meters. For the Eld-X that means muzzle velocity of 811 meters pr. second ore...

So i got myself a brand new rifle in 6,5 creedmoor It's a short and handy little thing, with a 20" barrel + suppressor. Do to all kind of laws about hunting, and availability overhere, i narrowed my options down to two different bullets: The Hornady Eld-X 143 grains or the Berger EOL 156...

And even more when they have been shipped across the Atlantic 😬

A virgin case without any kind of prep'?

So i'm looking for a bushing die to use for 6.5 creedmoor Lapua brass, and i've decided on the Redding Type-S Full size bushing die. The problem is delivery-time, and price, before these things hits Europe, so i would like to order the correct bushing size the first time. So witch...

Did the math and figured as much. The problem with the Berger, is that it is hard to come by in country, and the price i almost twice the ELD-X. But yes, it is a possible option. I contacted Berger, and the funny thing is; they will not give you load-data in writing, only via telephone. (Guess...

Not an option on the platform i fell in love with... 😬

i agree, but guess most guys runs big square 'rocks' for bullets in them, and they are used at 50-100 meters for large game. And for that porpoise, you don't have to spend a lot of time thinking about BC's, barrel twist, and 1/2 MOA groups :-)

Nope, i would chance it to one in a gazillion odds! But it matters to me, it wouldn't feel right, even though you and i can agree, that it makes no difference what so ever. And the marketing of the Creed havn't really crossed the Atlantic yet, I believe, that still only the super-nerds are...

As i said, their can be people out there, smarter than me, and i'm happy about that :-D

It is a wonderful mess, powder- and bullet-measurements are done in grains by the user, because most of the data is made for the american market. But all the laws is in grams. All other measurements, such as case-measurement are mainly metric. I can not rule out, that a few guys use inches, but...
