But creedmoor as a sniper rifleš¤£ give me a fucking breakš¤£
Like your marginal improvement over 7.62 NATO is pointless as a sniper...When you should be using a fucking .300 win mag in the first place
A .338 magnum lapua is a good sniper
@Duke of Mecklenburg late reply: 6.5 CM being useless Not really, decent ballistics, better CE, half the recoil of 7.62. Also helps streamline military supply if they switch to a 6.5 infantry rifle. So in that it does have some logic to it.
6.5 creedmoor will NEVER be a standard issue infantry rifle cartridge
@MadLarkin
6.5 Grendal might
Thats what i was saying
Army has an open contract for a 6.5mm round for an infantry rifle
Why use the 6.5 as a sniper round? Its mediocre as all hell...the 300wm is already the standard sniper cartridge which has double the effective range
The grendal and the creedmoor use different bullets tho
The grendal doesnt use the 143
Grain
It uses 120
Its not ment to snipe. Its a designated marksmens round
The creedmoor is a definite improvement over the .308, but still
I could understand if it's used in an AR-10 platform
what's so good about the creedmoor?
Creedmoor as the DMR or sub 900m round, and another 6.5/8mm for new infantry rifles
Not much.... Its bullet just has a good ballistic coefficient so it's better than .308/7.62nato
@galesteppes light as fuck recoil
8ish ftlbs
Good BC, does decent out to 1k if you had to
So it's a round with a bit more impact than 5.56 but not as much recoil as 7.62?
No
It's nealy just as powerful as 7.62
please enlighten me
And more powerful out at further ranges due to the bc
I've never heard of this round before
The 6.5 grendal is a middle ground between 5.56 and 7.62.... The Creedmoor on the other hand is superior to the 7.62 in every way
Since the 2 are confused alot
Creedmoor doesnt out preform till 500yrd mark
Within that its either or
What's is it again? Only 2,700 with a 143 grain?
Isnt the 7.62 like 2,700 with a 150 tho?<:thronk:441701565607444482>
Close. Its an ish game unless your hand loading
It's an ish game regardless
Even handloading you see a 10ft/s deviation for some reason...maybe the reading being read wrong...
Atleast I do
With factory loads you get a 50 deviation about
Depending
