Don't know what we'll shoot it in since Clinton and Obama took all our guns.
Oh, wait...
and decrease 1500 yd group size to .01 moa
and a 12.7! Will be the rage with all the service elite shooters!
I have it on good authority that it will shoot outside-to-outside groups of 7.59mm. True story.and decrease 1500 yd group size to .01 moa
Sounds like more marketing BS, we have more good 30 calibers than we can count. I most cases if we need better performance all we need to do is build a rifle of any caliber/cartridge we all ready have with a faster twist to stabilize better bullets, witch is what I'd like to see the manufactures do more of in all calibers.
Ok, enough fun. Read the date this was posted on Accurate shooter.

Well I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually did to provide the feeding frenzy of those who have not studied the infamous wildcats. "Oh LOOK it's BLUE, I want one!"

It's actually "CreedWhore"...I'm going to rebarrel my 308's to the hugely more better and powerful Creedmore (or is it Creedmoor??)
Gotta say Creedmoor in the barrel. Knock 'em dead with one pull of the trigger. I can visualize elk flipping over now. I'm so excited.

I support 90% of what Trump has done, but he's done more damage, with the bumpstock ban, to future 2A laws, than any other president. The NRA has done more damage to the 2A in the last 100 years, than any other organization. There's a special spot in hell for those folks who try to take our God-given (natural) rights away.

BUT I haven't located brass and primers yet?http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2019/04/the-new-7-6-creedmoor-best-30-cal-cartridge-ever/
The NEW 7.6 Creedmoor — Best .30-Cal Cartridge Ever?
Leveraging the incredible success of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, ammo-makers and rifle manufacturers have teamed up to produce a bigger Creedmoor cartridge — the 7.6 Creedmoor. The latest addition to the Creedmoor line gets is name from its 7.62mm bullet dimension. Yep, that makes it a .30-cal cartridge, but the creators stuck with the metric title for consistency. Makes sense. We like the way "7.6 Creedmoor" sounds and we bet consumers will too. The 6.5 Creedmoor has been a singular success — it is by far the most popular new cartridge introduced in the last decade. We think the 7.6 Creedmoor could become equally successful in short order.
In creating the new 7.6 Creedmoor, the product engineers were primarily concerned with accuracy, reliablity, and compatibility. In a brilliant marketing stroke, the 7.6 Creedmoor's designers crafted this cartridge to be 100% compatible with existing .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 rifles. So you can shoot the 7.6 Creedmoor safely in your existing .308 Win deer rifle or F-TR rig. As one ammo-maker's marketing manager told us: "The 7.6 Creedmoor give you everything you liked about the .308 Win, with a trendy name and the undeniable Creedmoor cachet. The 6.5 Creedmoor has become hugely popular. We expect the new 7.6 Creedmoor to do as well, or better!" We agree. Consider this — the 7.6 Creedmoor offers much better barrel life than the 6.5 Creedmoor, along with better bullet selection, particularly for hunters. With these advantages, how could the 7.6 Creedmoor not become a huge hit? The Creedmoor name alone should ensure success.
We discussed the new 7.6 Creedmoor with Dennis DeRille, one of the "founding fathers" of the 6.5 Creedmoor. Dennis said — "The Creedmoor name is synonymous with innovation and tactical success. This new 7.6 should live up to its name as it delivers .308 Win performance in a package for the 21st Century."
Reassuring .308 Win Ballistics and Die Compatibility
Another great feature of the new 7.6 Creedmoor is that you can use existing .308 Win dies and reloading components. That excited one PRS shooter: "I had all this old .308 brass and .30-Cal bullets sitting around. When I heard about the 7.6 Creedmoor I said 'Wow this is great, I can use this stuff in a Creedmoor now'. I know it will be accurate based on the name alone. That's cool — tacticool!"
Because the new 7.6 Creedmoor shares case capacity and design details with the venerable .308 Win, it also shares the .308 Win's impressive ballistics performance. "Whatever you can do with a .308 Win, you can do with the 7.6 Creedmoor… and then some!" says Hornady. Here is a chart showing projected velocities for the 7.6 Creedmoor with various barrel lengths and bullet weights.
NRA Approves 7.6 Creedmoor for F-TR Competition
Currently, NRA competition rules restrict F-TR rifles to the .308 Win (7.62×51) and .223 Rem (5.56×45) chamberings. But that's going to change. Starting in June 2019, the NRA will allow 7.6 Creedmoor rifles in all F-TR matches. In addition, the 7.6 Creedmoor can be used in service rifles such as the popular M1A. It's great to see this old battle rifle updated with Creedmoor accuracy and performance.
USA and Foreign Ammo Makers will Produce 7.6 Creedmoor Ammo
7.6 Creedmoor factory-loaded ammunition will be available from all major USA ammo-makers including Federal, Hornady, CCI, and Remington. As well, foreign ammo-makers Hirtenberger, Sellier & Bellot, and Prvi Partizan have pledged to produce 7.6 Creedmoor ammunition. That's good news for shooters who want affordable Creedmoor ammo. One ammo-maker told us: "The whole industry is excited about the 7.6 Creedmoor. To be honest, .308 Win ammo sales have been declining for a number of years. Now we can repackage those same great components and market them to a new set of consumers reared on the 6.5 Creedmoor. This is a great deal for ammo-makers, who know how excitable Creedmoor fan-boys can be!"
