Very nice!

Since it was built by Craddock, I'm sure it'll be a shooter.

Sight in @ 50 yards

Trying different ammo from left to right:
140 grain FMJ-BT - Aguila
143 grain ELD-X - Hornady
125 grain Maximus - Cutting Edge Bullets

First day out with this rifle, so getting familiar with it. No magneto speed today. The 125's look promising, but too early to tell.

MAXIMUS 6.5 Creedmoor 125gr - 20ct

NEW! 20ct Loaded with our best-selling Maximus™ bullets, this fully loaded hunting ammo is designed for those who want maximum take down power. After 2 inches of penetration, 4 petals break off and radiate outward in a star pattern while the base continues, giving you multiple wound channels...

Having some trigger issues. New round cycles and chambers, but trigger won't reset. So called it quits for today.

Very nice, keep us posted.
Thanks.

The 143 looks good out of the 3.

The 143 looks good out of the 3.

Speeds were terrible, all over the place. I had high hopes for the CEB. Too early yet. Could have been my coffee intake today! Lol

 

[C.O. Shooter]

After I did some trouble shooting and what not, Geissele sent me a new trigger in lieu of fixing mine. I got it installed and it works like it is supposed to. Hopefully I get out tomorrow and test it out!

 

[C.O. Shooter]

From left to right:
143 grain ELD-X - Hornady Precision Hunter
125 grain Maximus - Cutting Edge Bullets
140 grain ELD-M - Hornady Match

Rifle was cleaned prior to todays range session. Switched out the Aguila for a box of Hornady Match 140 ELD-M's.

Currently at 52 rounds fired. I won't clean again until the rifle tells me to.

️ - Clean cold bore

Looks good, any of them, with a little tuning. I would let my gun and my gut, tell me which one to go with. Thanks for sharing. I have a DPMS 308, I have thought about a 6.5 creed barrel swap.
Maybe one of these days. Thanks.

 

[C.O. Shooter]

These are all factory ammo, loaded ammunition. I was hoping for a miracle on one of them.

I have all the components with the exception of bullets and a die to load for this rifle.

 

[K.E.C.]

The 140 match, looks good, for Factory ammo. Go with it.

 

[C.O. Shooter]

I'm in no hurry. I want to get a box of the Berger 140 & 156 EOL Elite Hunter!
