6.5 Creedmoor

[Belt Fed]

I recently bought a Aero Precision upper and handguard and for a 6.8 SPC build and the handguard did not have the barrel nut, now it a proprietery and i took it back and they couldn't find it, i took the upper too as i have no need for just a gold upper.  they told me well we can give you money back or we can make you a really good trade. i said lets hear about the trade. he said you pick something and i'll make it worth your trouble. 

 

So i pick out this AR 10 reciever set, i knew he had a creedmoor barrel i wanted. this barrel is huge and heavy. it's used but looks like a new one  inside and out. the stock is off another gun and absolutely look s new. the bolt is used but with very little wear. wasn't used much. Maybe a lot to some but i'm gonna have about 700 total in this build. Now that's not counting a scope, which i already have. Upper is Aero and lower is ballistic advantage

Well i took the Creedmoor and the 22 ARC to shoot, the 6.5 kept hanging up in the chamber. think it needs polishing. it did group well on the ones i did shoot. no pics though. now i picked up the 22 ARC ammo they ordered for me and it was the match.

so i remembered what @98Z5V said it wouldn't run and thought oh boy. anyway i run 60 rounds without a hiccup. ran perfect, it did take a good 50 rounds to break in this barrel. it was not very accurate in then it was. it is a hot little round. barrel heats up really fast. i was only shooting at near 50 yards which is way to short for this round.

That ain't the stuff I was talking about, Belt - it's the Match, not the Black.  The Match is loaded with the 88 ELD-Ms, the Black is loaded with the 75 ELD-Ms.  That Match with the 88s won't run for shiit in a gas gun...   

This stuff:

Cool, i didn't remember the grain. all i remembered was match and when i seen match on the box i thought that was it. i'lll avoid that white box. i have no clue what the difference is except the grain but that black run perfect.

I have 200 of the 75 ELD-Ms I can load up and try, just the boolits into cases.  The Berger 85.5s did the best for me, before I got all pissed off and took the 22ARCs out of the match/competition rotation.  I literally went back to 5.56 guns, Mk12s, for the matches.
