Took my 6 Creed out yesterday evening after scrubbing the barrel clean and put 5 more factory 108 ELDMs through it to track barrel speed up and accuracy. When I first got the rifle, I bought a box of factory Hornady Match 108 ELDMs as a controlled test. My plan was to shoot 5 shot groups from the new BRUX barrel and record velocity/accuracy. Then I would do 5 shot groups at the 100/150/200 round mark. The first 5 shots from the new barrel did 2980fps and 1/2 MOA. I then put 100 rounds through it with my load using Peterson brass, H4350, and 108 ELDMs over the last year. I scrubbed the barrel clean and put 5 more factory 108s through it last night. Average velocity was 3025fps and a smidgen under 1/2 MOA. Nice to see the CCB shot was also in the group. So it's looking like it's sped up almost 50fps in the first 100 rounds and accuracy has been right at or under 1/2 MOA for the two 5 shot groups so far.
