6.5 Creedmoor Bulk Ammo Brass

[Tiny Tim]

Just bought a Savage 110 Tactical in 6.5 Creedmoor. Will only be making some minor alterations to it for the life of this barrel. Been looking at buying bulk loaded ammo for break in and to have a source of same lot brass. Any difference in Federal brass between their Non-Typical, American Eagle, and GMM ammo. Would Hornady be a better choice? GMM is $100 more with Berger bullets, but I don't care about that. Any other recommendations? Something I'm missing? Thanks in advance

On a scale of 1-10 of peterson brass to either of your choices it'd be about 23. I have shot the old prime ammo when it was norma cased and it was very good. The new stuff is an upgrade from there

Good advice. Important to consider whether you will be satisfied with the resulting brass in the long term.

Best brass that I have used so far is that from Sellier & Bellot. Have used Hornady, Winchester, and Lapua.

Thanks Capt RB. Haven't bought loaded ammo in years. Peterson is out of both loaded ammo and brass in 6.5 Creedmoor. Prime did have loaded ammo in Peterson brass for $20.00 more than Federal GGM. Easy decision. Thanks again.

Thanks again Capt RB. Just got some range time in after work yesterday. Took me a few shots to settle down (not the rifle) first couple five-shot groups during break-in with prime ammunition, 130gr smk
