“The Creedmoor has a muzzle velocity of 140 grain, which measure incredibly well with the factory load of 2,710 fps.” ?? I think there were some editing issues with the article, I believe this should have read “muzzle velocity of 2,710 fps ...with factory load of 140 grain.” I am not by any means an expert but at 300 fps less at same distance I would expect a bigger drop from a 140 grain round run vice a 105 grain round launched at a higher muzzle velocity? Creed ammo has gotten a lot cheaper and compares well against .308 for a hunting round. Seems to me the 105 grain round is ok for varmints and tearing holes in paper. Depending on weapon of choice for deer I use either 150 grain 7MM Mag, 150 grain .308 or 180 grain 30-06. Most success has been with 180 grain 30-06 and the 7MM Mag. But that is not factoring in luck. I went with AR-10 .308 for my build because at the time Creed ammo was way more expensive than a a box of quality .308 hunting ammo. I am changing barrels and switching to Creed. I am not a long range hunter, just at my age that .308 kicks like a pissed off mule.
Good or bad, newspapers in the old days kept a tight ship. Editing is now dead.
My second oldest son was an editor in his school newspaper, and is meticulous about the language. However, career opportunities in the field are few, so he’s going to waste his life being a lawyer.
