First Time Out This Year

[RL338]

Made it out behind a rifle today first time since last year’s hunting season.
I added a brake on my 6mm Creed gave it a whirl.
There was a slight shift in POI by adding it. Fixed on the second group. I look to be a little rusty. This rifle is better than this.

Excellent. 'Tis comforting to settle in behind an old friend at the range. It looks as if you're in the money despite any misgivings you may express.

Good shooting and sweet chassis. 6mm Creed is something I like to try.
What bullets are you using? Speed?

Berger 105gr Hybids at 3100fps. I was running DTACs a little faster. 28” barrel.

I like the 6 Creed.
I have several specialty pistols chambered in that cartridge.

Those groups look pretty good to me!

I've only run the 108 gr Hornady ELD-M bullets through my 6 Creed. Used both Superformance and H4350. Similar groups to what you're showing. I don't know if I can expect any better accuracy or not. Doubt it. Ruger Precision Rifle, as built by Ruger, nothing special.

I should see about some lighter bullets for varmint shooting...

Nosler has the 70 and 80 grain Ballistic Tips, it should be explosive for yotes. 3600+ fps is smoking for the 70 grain , 3400+ fps for the 80 grain. Unless you prefer those match hollow points which works as well.

If you are shooting further out, I would stay with the 108's or the old 105 A-Max

I've even got some 6mm 55 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips... Thinking those should break 4,000 fps if I want to push 'em that hard.

I think a 1:7 twist might tear them apart at 4000 fps

That kind of rusty isn't bad. Glad you got reacquainted with your rifle. Dan.
