Re: 6 Creedmoor, 6BR killer?
Here is the deal. its not that your 6mm creedmoore isnt accurate or that it has the potential to be very accurate. The proble is that there is a hole system evolved around the 6BR and 6dasher that makes these two chambering superior. There are hundreds of fellas shooting the 6BR and very few shooting a 6 creedmoore. There is tons and tons of tips and loading data for the 6BR/dasher and i am pretty sure you had to make an educated guess for your load data on the 6creedoore.
Did you have a reamer made for a fl die to resize your brass with that matches the reamer that was used to chamber your barrel? Folks like dave kiff know that 90% of the folks that buy his 6BR and dasher reamers will be using a redding bushing die, so dave has made his chamber reamers to closely match. These are just a couple examples, but there are many more. What makes a case accurate isnt always just its design. Granted that some design are better than others, and the 6BR is definitaly a good one.
I had a 6.5 creedmoore one time that i thought was the ticket. That dam thing would shoot one hole groups at 100 yards, and i was just certain i would win with it at 600 yards. Well to make a long story short, i didnt win! The added recoil slowed me down as well as shoot the rig harder, thus making it harder to get back on target, plus when i did get back on target the rifle wasnt settled into the bags, so the shots were all over the place. I thought my load wasnt right, but that wasnt the case either, simply to much recoil. Keep in mind the gae i play is a little different that shooting steel plates so the stradagy is a bit different. We try to shoot a perfect score and a 1" group at the same time at 600 yards. The hole system has to be clicking to make this happen. Lee
