I recently picked up a Ruger American Predator in 6mm Creedmoor, swapped the stock for a Magpul American Hunter, and had such a great first day at the range, here I am!

All "reloads" from fresh Hornady brass, Sierra Match King 107gr BTHP, and loads of H4350. Took 3 to sight in, and 6 5 shot groups (100 yards) all at 1MOA (with thick gloves on) to as little as .55 MOA (no gloves). First time using H4350, first time with a centerfire bolt gun besides my Kar98 in over a decade. First time doing a real barrel break in procedure too.

I paid just a hair over 400 for it, and as far as I am concerned I should have paid another 400 for these kind of results. Stock was well worth the money as well, my wrist despises the standard stock grip angles on just about everything. I actually giggled standing in front of the target after the first string of .71".

I really like my 6creed. Mines a custom rem 700 with a 20” proof barrel I have had great luck with 4350 in mine. I was running Berger 105 hybrids in mine. I picked up 500 70gn blitz king sierras to use for coyotes. I have yet to shoot any of my sample loads yet. Used H414 varget and h4350 as well as some Imr 4451 it’s a great round. I’m very happy with it for predators.

Curious if you have a run a chronograph with any of those loads? I'm too cheap to buy one so far, but I've got the itch to start seeing what my numbers are.
