Defiance 6.5 Creedmoor

Here is another 6.5 Creedmoor that I have just got going.

It has a McMillan Edge Tech A3 stock, Defiance Deviant Hunter action, 26" Proof Research Carbon Fibre barrel which I imported.

I used a Timney Calvin Elite trigger with PT&G bottom metal

It really seems to like the 140 Berger Hybrids, this is the middle of the three powder charges I tried tonight, good old proper carbon fibre barrel :)

Here is the three groups, it was pretty windy tonight, typical of this time of year here.

Overall its looking good, just need to sort a hunting load out for it now :)

Very nice Greg.:cool:

Why a creedmoor over say a 260 or 6.5/284?

Fits the magazine really easily, goes very well, nice Lapua small primer brass, is the flavour of the month & its what the customer wanted :)

Nice speeds too for 140gr :)

I'm not familiar with Bergers, are the hybrids not a hunting projectile?

Those were the 140 Hybrid Targets, probably a little hard for our size game at those velocities.

They probably would work better if the were going 3100+ fps out of a 6.5-7 Blaser magnum or SAUM, WSM etc

What powder are you using to get those speeds?
