Just Bragging On My 6 Creed Predator

[Hylander]

I'm laid up for a few more weeks because I just had a hip replacement. So I thought I would brag on my 6 Creed Predator.
Bought it used from a friend that upgraded.
Anyway this is the most accurate rifle I've ever owned, it makes me look good.
The first three groups I shot were his loads letting me test fire before buying. Three groups all different loads. After firing the 9 rounds, I just looked at him and said (Here, take my money).
Scope is a Athlon Talos 3-12x40
All groups shot off the bipod.

Great shooting! you have a keeper for sure. And, that Alpha brass just might be the best there is.

I shoot heavy for caliber bullets at long range & its looking like my newish 6 Cr. is gonna move my 6.5's to the back of the vault.

Enjoy & good luck with the hip.

First time with Alpha brass and so far it is great. Very constant weight, case length and capacity.
And tightened up my groups.

This mirrors how I feel about the 6.5 Creedmoor. Modern 'do-overs' of older cartridges (as in 6/5 Cr vs 260 Rem and 6mm Cr vs 243 Win) seem to be the fad right now. Probably due to the caliber slots being already occupied but still, the newer versions show improvements in accuracy and performance-again mostly due to improved loading components and firearms production improvements.
Sometimes it's as simple as changing shoulder shape and rifling twist. I'm not discounting this and it most certainly makes good publicity for the newcomers. In the case of the 6.5 Cr, early ammo production was the key--nothing promotes a new cartridge as well as match grade accurate ammo.
Enjoy your rifle and it's stellar accuracy.
Oh BTW--hope your hip comes along better than mine. 40 months post surgery, mine is almost as good as the old one was.
