G'Day Fella's,

Ripp, the Creedmoor appears to be an American version, of the original 6.5 x 47 Lapua cartridge.
Both are great little cartridges, and kind of like a 22-250/250 Savage case, necked up to 6.5mm and blown out (but not AI like improved).
I have had a 6.5 x 47 Lap barrel for my Rem 700 switch barrel rifle for a few years now.
It shoots way better than I can......(but I'm trying to improve)!
I reload Moly coated 140/142grain bullets, at a safe 2700 fps, from the 26" Lilja 1 in 8", 3 groove barrel.

Also, I see there's an article on the 6.5 Creedmoor, in the current Rifle magazine (it's their 50th Anniversary, Give Away rifle).

Doh!
