[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1752386, member: 97196"] The 6.5 Creedmoor is actually a fairly new arrival to my collection. All started when one of my grandsons ended up with one and needed some custom ammo for his hunt. The 142 ABLR and 143 ELD-X worked so well that I stayed with them until trying the 156 EOLs a short time ago. With a MV of 2660 (22” barrel) and the energy they carry down range they quickly took front stage. I use Lapua brass for the CM and CCI 450 primers. I didn’t worry about seating depth; just fit to magazine length of 700 SA. 41gr H4350 has been a good load for both CMs I have tested. Accuracy is excellent. I have a difficult time saying what MOA any of my hunting rifles shoot since it varies so much on conditions but can generally shoot under 2” groups at 300 yards on calm/cool mornings. Accuracy with the 156s has not been an issue with any of the 6.5 rifles I have tested. [/QUOTE]
