[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 1380950, member: 28741"] Back to the point of the thread...I find the 6.5 Creed to be a nice complement to the 243, 270, and 7RM. Low recoil, more umph and distance than the 243 while using about the same amount of powder and having the same recoil, great for LD target and midrange hunting. I bought in and am having a blast. Load development is relatively easy. Getting .1MOA - .25MOA groups out of a standard X-bolt. Here are 3 groups: Top on is a 3 shot, the other 2 are 4 shot groups at 105 yards. 130gr Berger VLDH. It is not uncommon for it to put 2 rounds in *exactly* the same hole. The 1 with double black patch targets is because another shooter shot my target, not because I covered up a flier! I'm liking that 43.4gr load! [ATTACH=full]87006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]87007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]87006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]87006[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
