6.5 creed magnum

Can’t be as bad as shooting factory Hornady lol (saying this as a factory Hornady shooter)

Was just shooting my new tikka build yesterday. Shooting some old Hornady 6.5cm superformance ammo to sight in and break in the barrel. ES was damn near 100.

Man if only they would have sprung for the 130tmk

That would be awesome with a 16 inch barrel with a can. One can dream. At least we will have one factory tmk option with the 153s though.

Yep that’s my exact setup, we will see how the 153 recoils though hopefully it’s manageable and I can use that for a couple years then they will make a 107 or 116 6creed load lol

Yah I wouldn’t be surprised. I got 10 boxes of 153s preordered and I just got my chopped 6.5 cm barrel back from Kampfled too. Ended up going 18 inches since cans are still illegal in Hawaii but one can dream.

I have 153s on order for my 19" tikka. Will be interesting to compare speeds and accuracy. Sometime next month if we're lucky!

I’m curious about this in .308 and/or 7-08. I own one of each. One being a bench gun and the other a heavier older hunting rifle. If they go either of those directions I could have an urge to add a new rifle to my safe…

I wonder if they're keeping it to monolithics in grain weights that aren't heavy for caliber so they don't risk the bullet going poof from over spinning.

130 TMK makes a mess at regular CM velocities. I can’t imagine how bad it would be at +Peak velocities.
