Iam considering buying the 6.5 creedmoor instead of the pc 10 5R. My only concern is ammo . What kind of accuracy is everyone getting out of this rifle.

Iam considering buying the 6.5 creedmoor instead of the pc 10 5R. My only concern is ammo . What kind of accuracy is everyone getting out of this rifle.
3 shot groups, Copper Creek 130gr Berger VLD Hunting, 1/2" to 3/4" and Hornady 129gr Interbond Superformance, 3/4".
Loaded question lol. What's a pc10?
No two rifles shoot the same, and no two boxes of ammo are loaded the same.Quote:

4 in the group, and one dialed right. Even "problem" barrels have the ability to outshoot 98% of shooters who are looking for info on group sizing.

I I own the predator max 1 in 6.5 x 284. I love the gun but it has one big problem - the forend of this stock is not rigid enough. For $800 you can get a savage precision carbine with a better, full bed , non savage stock in 6.5 creedmore for an equivalent price and barrel length. If I did this over again I would start with this gun instead.

This comes with a full bed HS Precision stock.
My Predator max 1 shoots great but I have to be forward on my bags putting any rifle weight to the rest as far back as possible. I have invested in a nice optic (Trijicon 5 x20), quality rings, and am painstaking about my handloads BUT the weakness in this rifle, which I will remedy, is a far to flexible forend and it kills accuracy if the stock compresses to the barrel.
Most of my shooting with this rifle is from a bipod and I have zero issues with the forend. The Precision Carbine has the same stock as my Predator which is the Accustock, just a different camo pattern.
That link is for the LRP.
