6.5 creed magnum

Here’s from some testing Short Action put up the other day.

As far as the 130VLD goes the velocity there isn't much to write home about. RL-16 will do that in a std case.

I agree. Seems kind of low to be seeing bolt lift signs if the factory loads are 80kpsi. From what I can figure, GRT shows that load at only around 66kpsi.

Did they share what length barrel they were shooting from cuz if it’s not possible to hit the velocities I’ve seen JVB hitting with the pre-factory stuff on his video I’ll be a bit disappointed. I’d really love to load the new 124fr Apex Afterburners in a suppressed 18” barrel as a dedicated mountain gun and hitting 2950-3050’ would be tough for me to beat on a build like that.

How does this differ from safe practices for standard brass cased ammo?

Possibly less room for error, Murphys law.

They didn’t share any barrel or rifle specs when they posted up that clip. From what I could see in GRT , those speeds/powder seemed to align with a 24” barrel.

A stronger case would allow more room for error

It was a 16.5” barrel.

Clear. But velocity and the mass of the ejecta (bullet + powder) still defines recoil. I doubt the difference in powder weight is sufficient to offset the increase in velocity. I would have said it’s a given that it’ll still recoil more than a standard creedmoor. Maybe less than a PRC, but still more than a creedmoor. In other words, from a performance standpoint id think this is a “low recoiling PRC”, not a “fast creedmoor”.

The recoil is captured in that special high pressure case .

Interesting SAC used 003 neck tension that I'm seeing in their Instagram post. That's far from the 0.0005 to 0.001 people say needs be used to keep the stiff steel case neck from damaging jackets from seating resistance.

Oh then those are actually solid.
