RE: May you live in interesting times...or in Pittsburgh!
howdy sir smithlabs! yeah you got something right for a change, it ain't a hardware issue. What do you think the standard rifle for the military should be?
6.5mm Creedmore on an AR Frame. That way, you can just change the uppers, and save a lot of money, while significantly increasing the fire power of our individual troops.
The 5.56 has never been a good combat round, and was selected in ignorance, for untested reasons.
I have had a lot more engagement on weku, than on steem.
:)>ok, well I'm not familiar with Creedmore, is that just the bullet brand name?
And it's similar to what, the .308 or something more like a real battle rifle?
it is a calibre (0.264 inches) but it has enough bullet weight to carry the energy, unlike the 223 round. It is available on the AR-15 frame right now. Ballistically it much better than the 223, while avoiding a totally new battle rifle redesign! Good round, low cost cutover, top choice!
I have a 6.5mm Swedish Mauser, that I took a deer at over 450 yards, with one shot. The 223 is 55 grains of lead, the 6.5mm I shoot is 129 grains of lead!
I personally like the M-14 in 308, but that cost would be massive.
:)>sir smithlabs, the AR is such a light weight rifle, wouldn't it kick if it had the Creedmore round?
It is a shorter round than my 6.5mm. Not much kick, an AR is a girls gun anyway! I am building a couple of more, got parts coming.
I may do an AR10 (308) just for fun.
Here is a good place for parts:

:)>what the? sir smithlabs..you're building AR;s even though you don't like them?
Yes, just to piss off the liberals. I teach kids to shoot; and an AR is a good kids gun.
:)>oh ok, I get it, it's a little kids gun and a girl's gun. thanks sir smithlabs!
