I’ve shot their 6.5 CM and it was pretty good ammo.

And the .308 seems like it is fairly priced considering their probable component cost increase.

 

[XTREM HTR16]

I bought some of the 308 with 155 scenar to build a rifle around. A rifle looney’s life is incomplete without a 308 correct?

 

[powdahound76]

Yes.
Thats a darn good price these days with Lapua brass.

 

[XTREM HTR16]

Yep. Hard to build a round with new Lapua brass and bullet for $1.50 each.

 

[powdahound76]

Especially for folks without components.

I am close to that at stuff bought a year or 6 ago.

 

[powdahound76]

Keep telling myselfI have enough, but the hoarder inside says I need more....

Remember when FGMM was $16/ 20 rds with free shipping?
The good ole days!

Same here. I’m in an internal debate about whether I bought enough. A 308 barrel doesn’t burn out that quickly. How many reloads can you get on Lapua 308 brass?

Alot!!!! Some people get 20 or more

 

[ker2222]

I grabbed some of the 168’s.

 

[Kamerad]

Thanks for the tip, picked up some 175’s. Relative to the price of bullets and brass alone, it’s worthwhile to me.

 

[Glassaholic]

I'm shocked it still shows in stock! Got this mostly for the Lapua brass, it's not the fastest but hopefully it shoots decent enough out of my AI to make it fun at distance. I also saw they have loads with Lapua brass and Lapua 167 Scenar bullets...

I think 2020 made most of us hoarders

 

[powdahound76]

i have been since before ‘08.
it has been escalated in the last 10-11 months though.

 

[XTREM HTR16]

I've got 500 of the 155 coming today. Thinking I want another 500 more. Conserve my primer supply....

You seen this!

You make an excellent point with conserving primer supply. That and having fun shooting while getting excellent brass in the process

 

[powdahound76]

sans taxes, just brass and bullets are $130 per 100 rds if you were to buy from MHS (I just looked)
So $20 for powder and primers for 100 rds seems darn cheap right now. Plus no work.....

 

[BLJ]

100 of the 175’s coming for me. Thanks to the OP.

Yes...been buying from them for a while....another secret given away...SMH

 

[bayfritz]

even cheaper at CMP on the 167

You shut your mouf..............this thread scared me into ordering another 200 rounds from them this AM.

Just trying to help out my Hide Brethren (and Sisteren) I've shopped at Creedmoor Sports before, but this time I found it through ammoseek.com, so I'm guessing the cat is out of the bag if they are on ammoseek

Ammoseek!?

WOW..I never have seen them on there before. Oh well...it was fun while it lasted

Don't be in a hurry. I ordered 1K back in mid Dec 20 and inquired about a shipping status last week, CMP said "not even close yet".

 

[Noob Sammich]

I just discovered this for myself and came here to post that they've got plenty in stock!

Went ahead and placed my order; been running low on .308 and prices are actually pretty good considering everything else that's out there.

Now let's see if it survives Fedex shipping - my local Fedex is kind of slimy.

I’ve bought a bunch. It is packed well and it shoots pretty damn well.
The price is awesome compared to everything else out there

 

[whatsupdoc]

I bought some also, you almost cant make it for that price considering the components used.

 

[jLorenzo]

Anyone report how this Creedmoor sports stuff shoots with the 167gr? I have only seen Winchester and Hornady 168gr match loads locally. 60$ per 20. Insane.

I’ve shot a couple hundred of the 167. In my blueprinted 700 I was getting .7” 5 shot groups. I’m not that great of a shooter though.

 

[STROP]

Ordered 200rd 175gr yesterday, got FedEx shipping showing en route.

Might pus

 

[Basher]

Buy a bunch of ammo, or upgrade from an SWFA 10x42 to the clearanced DMRIIi... Choices, choices!

Come on Bash, you know the right decision

 

[Kamerad]

Shipped next day, taking a week to WA state from Alabama. That’s as good as I could hope for.

 

[stello1001]

I dont think i need more 308 ammo but this is tempting just so i can fire this and have fireformed LAPUA brass.

 

[Basher]

Come on Bash, you know the right decision

I’m not so sure, LOL. Just checked Midway and they’ve bumped the clearance prices up by $75. They’re still good prices, but that sort of pisses me off, LOL. The XRS2 w/ G3 was $1100 a few days ago, now back up to $1700/no longer clearance priced. I might just run the SWFA and see what Bushnell has coming out and tell Midway where to stuff it...

 

[powdahound76]

Always tell Larry to suck it!!!
you can get a 4.5-18 LRTS for $750 from Doug at Cameraland.

 

[Noob Sammich]

Was able to order 175gr yesterday. This morning got an email stating it's backordered :-(

 

[Glassaholic]

I should have bought more... I think that is the motto for 2021

True, but that’s not a DMRII, and it’s the FDE/non-illum version. Still a great scope, but then I’d have to buy rings still as well, whereas I already have 34mm rings. And my rifle is black (petty want, I know), and I’d prefer illum.

Anyway, sorry for the tanget! I do really want to try the Scenars, just not sure which weight. I’m slowly burning through my last fee cases of FGMM 175, and have a thousand or so 168 ELD-Ms to load, so the 167 seems the most logical, but my rifle is a 20” and I bear good things from the 155 class when they’re pushed fast enough. Like I’ve said, choices, choices...

You can always buy a scope, but in today's market you cannot always buy ammo, especially with brass this good... just sayin'

True dat. I have a source for new Lapua brass at a mindblowingly good price though. So for me, it’s the Scenar I want to try, and the ability to skip loading, haha.

 

[Baron23]

And I personally really like the folks at Creedmoor Sports and their CS is excellent (kudos to Gina). Nice outfit and I try to buy from them when I get a chance.

I'm curious how the 167 Scenar's compare as well, they should be better than the old 168 SMK's as they report better BC. I just bought some new Sierra 169gr SMK that are supposed to have a higher BC than their 175's so I'm curious how those will do.

I am also wondering how those 169s are. Have been considering ordering some.
