Could you imagine the combination of accuracy and knock down power a Creedmoor necked up to .30 would accomplish? It would hold the lead for decades.

Um,already done- it’s called the 30 TC- the case the Creed was designed from!
7.6 Creedmoor sounds so much cooler, though !

Wow is right.

Everyone knows a 7.6 Creedmoor would be nothing more than a 30 TC..., certainly not interchangeable with the 308.

Awwwe yes cat but necking up the 6.5 makes it a 7.6 creed much different than the 30 tc of course haha 😂

I didn’t think anybody actually thought it was true, but you never can tell......

7.6 Creedmore WOW!!!
If only somebody had dreamt up this incredible inherently accurate chambering 67 years ago,surely with the right marketing strategy it would be one of the best selling cartridges of all time.🤔

Comparing the 7.6 Creedmoor to the 6.5 Creedmoor, I've heard guys say that it's only an improvement of 1.1 so what's the big deal?

But they are obviously not doing the math. That improvement is like 17%, which is a big deal. I can't even begin to imagine what the SD's and BC's are like. Truly, this is mind blowing stuff. What a great time to be a shooter!!

With the release of the new Hornady 458 cal 768 gr ELD bullet and their new 450 creedmore , long range hunting will be forever changed .

Yes,,, and let's not forget about the 375 & 416 Creedmoor's. Ha

The 300 Creedmoor Magnum's will be good sellers when they come out,,, 215's and the 225 grain'ers are supposed to be fairly accurate from what I've been told...

It was inform from a friend of a friend that his uncles brothers best friend shared,,, some of the details probilibly got mixed up,,, but you know us humans.

Its true until proven other wize. LOL

Any-who,,, my 7.62 Poof-moor is lots of fun to shoot,,, its very similar to the Yes-moor & No-moor,,, hopefully we see a Few-moor in the next few years. Ha

You guys are funny.

In all seriousness though I've been doing some reading on the 300 PRC and it looks promising. Necked down 375 Ruger, been a wildcat for a few years. Case proportions are very similar to the 6.5 PRC.

I'm having a rifle built and it's a contender for sure. 300 Win Mag without the belt and designed to run 200-225 grain bullets. Hope it catches on.
