    More X-caliber Goodness


    Had a chance to twist up one of the new X-Caliber 6.5 Creedmore's that were just delivered. Once again, I am very pleased with the results.

    After Zeroing, this was the first three shot group, nothing spectacular but not terrible either.

    Keep in mind these are not handloads but good old fashioned Hornady 140gr ELD-M's with a 4-14x Primary Arms. I will still argue, these are the best value barrels on the market hands down!! No break in, nothing special, they just shoot!!

    As you can see , so far the rifle is performing very well. If I have an opportunity this winter to get out and gather some DOPE out to distance I probably will shoot a few matches next spring.

    Agreed - groups are tight as is and will only get better the more you shoot it.

    Btw - I found the barrel nut and and machined recoil lug!

    Haha you might be right about that one! I'll need to go to manatee for the 1000yd range.

    Update on a barrel I got from Rosco. After working through some issues, my first barrel swap, the 6.5 Creedmoor is shooting sub-moa. So far only two trips to the range. The last group I shot (pictured) was with factory ammo. Got my first batch of reloads ready to go, anxious to see how they perform. Waiting for some decent weather.
