Copper Creek Reviews

[Roosterstraw]

Has anyone bought ammo from copper creek cartridge company? Looking for some reviews before I buy some. Only found one video on YouTube and it didn’t shed good light on them. I like using unknown but they don’t have a lot in stock and they don’t know when they will be getting more.

I've ordered a few of their modified cases for measuring chambers. Shipping was super fast and communications through their system was fantastic. Can't help you on the ammo side of things as I only roll my own

I bought some of their 6.5 CM 140 ELD-M. It was more accurate out of my gun than the Hornady factory ammo and faster too!

Used it last Fall to harvest my black bear

I used their 300 wm ammo loaded with the 225 eldm for all my hunting last year. My rifle consistently shot sub half moa groups with very low SD. They ship really fast too.

Thanks fellas. I ordered a couple boxes.

I bought 280ai ammo with Barnes 145lrx from them and shot several 3/4” 3-shot groups @ 100 yards my first time out testing accuracy. I have a tikka with a 22” Preferred #2 5R Barrel. Evaluating my drops to 300 yards I’m estimating velocity around 3050.

I will just leave my experience with 280ai here versus Hornady Factory Precision Hunter. Check out the speed and SD difference. The Copper groups were also 2+ times larger.

I went ahead and purchased the Copper Creek load pack to give it another chance and see how this went. I will post all the other results later, but the black load, which is the highest load, was the most accurate and fastest out of my 280ai.

Not sure why there was a flier, but these calcs are with the first shot (the high one) excluded. I am sure it is just coincidence, but that one was at 2,970 and definitely felt like a bigger charge than the other 4. Yes, that is four shots in the lower grouping. I am going to order pack #2 for bullet seating with this load.

When they first came out with 22 Creedmoor loads. Five or so years back. I shot a bunch of their 22CM 88gr ELD-M loads and they shot very well.
