New 10 fcp-sr 6.5 creedmoor range report

[Rackfreak210]

Well i made it out to shoot Thursday evening and today to try some factory ammo and get the barrel broke in. I can say that I am very happy with the accuracy to say the least. The first trip out on Thursday i had a 15-20 mph crosswind and still managed to shoot a .34" group (3shot) at 100yds with 140 grain hornady eld match. I also tried some 120gr, and 129 grain loads but they shot horrible. Today was windy again with 20mph winds from the south. I bought a box of 140 grain winchester match bthp to try out and was floored with the results.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170319/a74441b03e4c8d82a3bcb82ab146393e.jpg
After i shot this group i shot the rest of the box of eld match's that i had and they started shooting all over the place. I figured the barrel must've been super fouled so i quit to go clean it up. While cleaning the barrel i found that the base had came loose so that explains my sporadic groupings. I loctited the screws and re torqued the screws so hopefully it doesnt happen again.... All in all i'm pretty impressed with it and would highly recommend trying one out if you get a chance.

What torque settings did you land on for the action screws?

Just got done trying out the precision hunter 143 grain eld-x ammunition and was very impressed with it too! Here is 5 shots at 100 ydshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170401/3a410cdf628755339d7400795e436cca.jpg

This thing is a tack driver for sure. Just cant beat accuracy like that for a factory rifle with factory ammunition. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170401/036bdb3ca36df8c28ad4d1b019f27b27.jpg
Im gonna start reloading pretty soon for it but at this point it is looking like it is going to be a waste of time

Rack, which Vortex scope and muzzle brake is that and do you like them? Thanks

Its a viper 6.5-20x50. I like it a lot. It took me some messing with it to get the parallax adjusted and a little hazy. I have two of them. I also have a viper pst which is a WAY better scope but i guess it should be for a grand. This was a low budget minded purchase so for that, i am pleased with it.

I thought it might be. Cabelas has the 44mm version coming on sale for I believe $299 in a few days. I have the PST version currently as well.


Which muzzle brake are you running?

[Rackfreak210]

I bought it on ebay from precision prototype and machine. Made in usa and cerakoted. Paid $30 for it and it works very well. Its like shooting a 22-250 now. Just have to wear plugs and muffs when i shoot now[emoji15]
