Copper Creek Cartridge Co load pack

I recently purchased and shot a load pack from Copper Creek and wanted to post my results for others to come across when researching them.

Intro

  • Ammo
    • Load pack 1 which compares the same bullet at the same seating depth, but with incremental charge increases (unknown %)
    • $119 shipped for 25 rounds that come in a hard 50 round ammo box
    • 140 Berger Elite Hunter in LRP Lapua brass
  • I went this route since I am out of state and away from my reloading gear, and just got the rifle together

Items Used
  • Rifle
    • Custom 18" 6.5 creedmoor Patriot Valley Osprey
    • Origin action
    • Manners pro hunter
    • Zeiss LRP S3
    • Omega 300 suppressor
  • Garmin Xero C1 Pro

Results

Color (charge)# of RoundsGroup size (MOA)SDESAVG
Red51.0085.916.82499.8
Blue51.0418.952.92507
Green50.86818.543.32564.4
Purple40.7925.814.92597.4
Black50.47313.240.92631.5


The first thing to call out is that I had one of the purple rounds not go off. The primer strike looks fine but no dice. The rest of the results were okay, but the point of getting a load pack like this is to test each color and see what your rifle likes. Based on the results, black is by far the best for my rifle both with group and speed. Brass and primers did not show signs of pressure except 1-2 rounds in the blue group had a noticeably heavier bolt lift, but nothing crazy.


Conclusion

At $119 shipped to my door, its expensive. That being said I think it fits my use case. It's very disappointing that 1 round failed to fire (almost $5 wasted), I will contact copper creek to see how they handle that issue. I will likely get more ammo from them, either new brass with the load data from the black groups, or send in my ~60 once fired Lapua brass for the same black load. I do not think I will do the second load pack that plays with seating depth as I don't have my calipers or comparator tools and do not feel like buying another set.

I will add in pictures of the groups that have the color in the overlay and what the rounds look like.

mpvo for bad weather

Most of my events are from Oct-March and it’s not uncommon to get wet, grey, low contrast days and even some fog.

When I was shooting PRS, I went through a fair amount of glass before buying a March that really felt like I could pick out targets in bad weather.

That said, that is the only tier 1 scope I can swing.

In the sub 1k mpvo market, is there any good performer for low contrast days? I’ve been looking a lot at the helos 2-12, gpo 4-16, and uso ts12.

Great Things Are Happening At Camera Land

Since returning from SHOT Show last month we have been working actively with our suppliers to get in newly announced product, get our hands on end of life product to offer you on deals, Demos as well as As New Open Box opportunities.

We are doing our best to have a steady available inventory of DNT NightVision and Thermals, GPO Centuri Riflescopes, all the newest Athlon Riflescopes, Swarovski Z5+ & Z5i+ Riflescopes, Zeiss Binoculars and V Series Riflescopes as well as Tangent Theta Riflescopes. We've got huge orders in with Arken and get deliveries a couple of times a week. Some scopes are on backorder at this time, however, we are accepting pre-orders and will ship as soon as they arrive.

We have placed our largest order ever for a newly announced product. The new Athlon Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph has got to be THE MOST ANTICIPATED new product that was shown this year at SHOT Show. Athlon expects the 1st delivery to be in the next 3-5 weeks and we are accepting pre-orders.
"New for 2025, Athlon makes ballistic calculations easy with the Rangecraft Velocity Pro Radar Chronograph. It picks up the projectiles via Doppler radar, thus eliminating the need to mount the Rangecraft Velocity Pro to the weapon. This means it won’t affect your zeroing or barrel harmonics, so your accuracy remains the same. Since the unit isn’t triggered by a muzzle blast, it can pick up on projectiles from firearms with suppressors, muzzle breaks, compensators, and other muzzle devices. The Rangecraft Velocity Pro can measure projectile velocity between 65 fps and 5000 fps, allowing users to measure the velocity of a massive assortment of projectiles."

We are excited about the deals we made happen with Hawke on their optics. You really should take a look and familiarize with Hawke. Great products, priced below what you'd expect.

Hardest part of having a dog

Milo, my rat terrier has had health problems since we got him. Started with allergies to grass, weeds, and everything outdoors when he was a puppy. We did allergy testing and immunotherapy injections from the time he was a year old. Then he had seizures, thyroid issues, and pancreatitis which led to diabetes a couple months ago. I didn't know that led to cataracts which recently started to show.

Last night he couldn't find his way up the steps and I had carry him inside. This morning he was playing like everything was OK. I came home after work and let him out to figure out he is completely blind. I tried a short walk outside since the weather is nice, but he got scared and wanted to go back inside.

He just turned 7, but I think it's time to put him down. He's scared and confused. It's a matter of time before he has another pancreatitis flare up and is in pain again. I hate the thought of it but the quality of life is pretty much gone.

AT-XC bolts are not compatible with AT/AW bolts

I just picked up an AT-XC and was going to have Bugholes do a 223 conversion. I was able to find a complete bolt, but when I went to put it into the gun, it was a no-go. After comparing the two bolts, it is clear that the changes they made for the AT-XC are significant. Unless I am missing something, I will have to wait for the AT-XC bolts to become available.
