Ruger American Predator Review 6.5 Creedmoor: Winchester vs Hornady

Range test of my new Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor comparing Winchester 140 grain match bullets vs my hand loads of Hornady 100 grain A-max bullets. Mounted a CVLIFE scope from Amazon for $52.99, an Odin Atlas muzzlebrake, and a UTG Tactical Bipod.
This is a very good review with some good information. I intent on this 6.5 Creedmoor being my "do it all" hunting rife...because I only have one rifle. Please subscribe to my channel for future videos of predator hunting, bull elk hunts, cow elk hunts, mule deer hunts and more!
Tested on the range and also reviewed partly at home. I forgot to turn the microphone on at the range so I had to audio over the first part.

[@ryanstewart1521]

Great vid. straight to the point. Some of these guys like talking about them selves more than what their reviewing. Love that suppressor, so quiet.

[@bulltactv4809]

Hey man i am by no means a pro shooter but watching it in fast forward revealed something i thought i might bring up. It appears in the video that you have just the slightest trigger twitch. My shooting guru taught me to try to follow through with my eye because I was loosening my grip on the rifle just after i pulled the trigger. For me with exactly the same rifle shooting 140 ELD match that was the difference between the groups you are shooting and clover leafs at 100m with factory loads. Im sure you are an accomplished shooter I really dont mean to tell you your business, but after watching this video twice i saw some paralells between your shooting and my own. Great shooting anyways thanks for the video it actually had a huge part in my decision to pick one of these rifles up. Thanks man and keep making these vids :)

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

BulltacTV I am honored to be critiqued by you. Thx for the pointers! Thx for watching. I am by no means an accomplished shooter!

[@timmiracle2883]

As a long time reloder I found that for better than average groups if have 100 cases weigh each primed empty case and put the ones to gather that have less than 2 grains different weight the difference between heaver to lighter can meen pressure difference because the heaviest will have less internal volume thus higher pressure which increase velocity also weigh bullets you might find the groups will shrink once you find the best powder charge

[@inalaska1709]

Very nice video and good shooting. Both the RA and the savage axis are both great shooting rifles for the money. With the right ammo both can be sub Moa all day. That being said they can be picky with ammo and when you up the price tag to something like a b14 hmr and pst gen 2 anything over 1/2 moa is disappointing, my best is a .2 10 shot group at 100 yards, but hitting a golf ball at 300 meters is easy, but you could buy 5 of the great setup that you have for what I’ve got into mine.

[@1rukie]

I have the same Rifle paid $325 for it about 3 years ago put an APA little bastard muzzle break on it like shooting a 223 been out to 600 yards with out a problem I also put it in a MDT chassis this past winter tack driver .

[@cowboyjeep94]

I have this same rifle there is no recoil to me. I use the hornady eld-x 143 it is a tack driver. I love it

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

I keep hearing that!

[@Johnyrocket70]

try comparing grip tensions and shoulder tensions see what combo works best. sometimes a handshake grip or light grip works, sometimes no grip tension works better, most BR shooters dont grip at at all. (hair trigger) combine those with different shoulder tensions and bipod tensios and you will find the perfect combo shooting the smallest groups. keep your thumb loose. thumbs only pull you off target, you dont need to wrap your thumb around at all. thumb tension is the enemy, dont forget to keep that trigger down and your bipod loaded. be safe, have fun. like we say in the military, breath, relax, aim squeeze do it right and youll be pleased.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

+JB Love the comments JB. THanks!!!

[@matthewstrandy3841]

Just bought this rifle. Showed up to the store today and couldn't be more pumped to go pick it up! Good video despite talk over. Well informed about the gun. Cut, dry and to the point. Well done.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

Great review! Voice over was fine! Picked one of these preds up today in 6.5. Waiting for glass to arrive! Keep up the great work! Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Thx for watching friend!

[@PracticalTacticalSheepDog]

Odin Works compensators make the world of difference when it comes to recoil. 6.5 Creedmoor is already relatively soft shooting compared to similar calibers but that Atlas break is just amazing at eating up the recoil

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

I love hearing that. I’ve never shot mine without one so I wouldn’t know. Thanks for watching!

[@Denny195]

Number 279 here. Nobody was born slung with one of these so we all have a learning curve. This is the video that sends me to the gun store. I've been studying this rifle for awhile and I like the 6.5mm cartridge and Predator match up. Overall a great video. Take a look at the SWFA SS 6X42 scope as an upgrade. A lot of scope for the money. Get some decent glass and rings and you'll be making hits at a 1000 yards before you know it.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Neurotic Nation great! Love the feedback! Thx for the sub. Happy gun hunting!

[@col.cottonhill6655]

4:25 dude is like ouch! Forgot the earpro

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

So funny. I never noticed that. In real time not sped up it would’ve been much better!!

[@Johnyrocket70]

hold the trigger down longer until the recoil has finished and keep your cheek on the rifle. you will see better results. dont forget to load the bipod. when you change grip pressure and shoulder pressure it will also affect your groups

[@wrxs1781]

Well done from a new subscriber, well said on the Ruger which this model I have but extensively modified. My appreciation of Ruger accuracy came from a Ruger MPR in .223 that I have since sold. Never a more accurate AR, and I have had a bunch.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Nice!! I don’t do a whole lot of gun reviews. Really only one ha ha ha ha. So this is just from the perspective of the common every day person who might buy a rifle.

[@dronepilot260rc]

Without muzzle brake my RAP 6.5 cm would just off target and I couldn't see my shots land. I have the same scope you have and I put a $16 ebay compact. 308 brake on it and holy cow it doesn't jump at all. Feels like my. 223 rifle now.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Outstanding. I have since replaced my scope with a vortex Viper.

[@langleyj8199]

Totally agree. I have RAP in 308 and 6.5. Also have RAR in 223. Great results with all three. Great video.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Langley J THanks for the comment Langley. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's seeing great things with these rifles. I'll be heading back out to the range on Monday to see if the scope holds zero and to shoot some 200 and 300 yard shots and see what happens

[@langleyj8199]

[@brookmills1635]

[@hogmango3560]

My Ruger Predator likes the 140s. Shoots 129 okay. But the 140s really makes me look like a great shooter. Nice video keep having fun. 👍🏻

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

+Hogman Go Thanks brother! Happy hunting/shooting. Thanks for watching.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

+Hogman Go yah, so far, I shoot well at 100 yards, but I need much more practice past that. I know....I’m a novice. And that’s OK!

[@CplSkiUSMC]

Since you're new to reloading, you have much to learn. Reloading will allow you to tailor your load to the rifle instead of just using a generic load. You need to load what I call a "series" of cartridges at 2 or 3 tenths of a grain increments through the charge range for your powder/bullet combo. Load 3 or 5 rounds at each increment. Do the research and find out what powders are working best for your caliber and go from there. I would also invest in a Hornady OAL gauge so that you can find where your chosen bullet meets the rifling then adjust your bullet seating to get 5 to 10 thousandths off the rifling. Short jumps work best for accuracy. As you shoot them at the range, you'll notice the groups open up and tighten up through the series, choose your best grouping to load at and you can play with little tweaks to try to tighten it further. You should be able to get that Ruger to shoot under 1/2 MOA... one hole groups are the joy of reloading. With my Savage Model 10 in .308 Win, I've shot groups as small as .163 inches and consistently under a quarter inch. The right combination of case prep, primer, powder, bullet, and seating can produce results from some off the shelf rifles that will rival high end custom rifles.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Ive heard great things about the Savage. Thx for watching and the great comment.

[@armyofshea7941]

Johnies Reloading bench is top notch for reloading. Might want to check him out.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Thank you so much for the comment! A few good videos could really turn things up word very quickly for you. Hundreds of subscribers from this one video right here.

[@nt3523]

Man, don't worry about that first group of handloads. A little tweaking is all you need. Heavier bullet is my guess. Then dial the powder charge in. If that rifle is sub inch with factory ammo, you'll be half inch with the right load.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

nt3523 Thanks so much. Nice to hear encouraging words. I'm very excited to start reloading. Still need a few more supplies though. Thanks for watching.

[@bnicedanicest6288]

I know it's been awhile since you made the video but I liked the video I learned like you about reloading I loaded a bunch of rounds of mediocre loads at first instead of loading up 3 rounds of each powder charge at a safe charge then going up in 1/10th graiin increments till I found the most accurate load and then experimenting with seating depths but hey I had a good time learning the hard way now I'm better off for it. Safe hunting and shooting to you guy.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

U too my friend!

[@DaRougaroux1]

I wish you guys would put the distances in the descriptions. I hate hunting through the video trying to find it.

[@richprisfishing8242]

[@edsmercina7157]

I love my predators also. Thanks for your video

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Thx for watching and commenting.

[@ericb.4358]

Excellent shooting but WHY hold the fore arm when using a rest?? I took my 6.5 CM RAP and added a Timmy trigger (best accuracy upgrade you can make for a RAP). Also I added a Boyd's Classic laminated stock and Brownell's $29. Savage 110 metal trigger guard to replace the cheap plastic guard Boyd's supplies. As you can see, Ruger American Predator rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor shoot very well for a hunting rifle at ANY price. My upgrades merely helped the inherent accuracy of the RAP. Eric B.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Sweet. Send pic! Can you do that through comments? Probably not...oh well.

[@0412videos]

The rifle arrived today and I dialed in the scope just a couple hours ago kzbin.infoUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL . I haven’t shot with a scope in probably 25 years. The X on the left was my target. (the shot almost in the bullseye on the right X was my father in laws first shot after I made adjustments) The two shots circled are my first 2 shots. Then I brought it down - shot once. Then brought it over to the left. From there zeroed it in to dead center. This all was from 25 yards out. Follow instructions carefully when mounting the scope. So far I'm very happy with the purchase.

[@rwardgator7866]

+rwardgator7866 That's awesome! I'm flattered...really that you liked the video. I think you'll find that they are very accurate guns. As I said in the video this is my second one. The first was in .243 but shot the same accuracy out of the box. Thanks for watching!

[@pieyed1302]

Just liked and subscribed. Like your style and relaxed demeanor. Keep up the great videos. I do have one question (or request), can you tell us more about your down-range camera setup?

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Sure. I work on a cheap budget! These are just hand held video cameras that don't cost more than $230 on tripods. I had a camera on me at the shooting table, and then one set up just below the target downrange. Hit record, then walk back and shoot. Approach the target after shooting and turn off the camera. Then I've got the two perspectives of the shooting.

[@SolidMitchRapp]

Just picked one of these rifles up last week. During the whole COVID thing I figure it may be wise to learn to hunt and the 6.5 seems to be a plentiful ammo at this point.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Nice! Very happy w mine. It’s a versatile caliber like many others.

[@SolidMitchRapp]

@@FlexmarkOutdoors yup looking up ALL the videos on it 😂 for sure this has been one of most informative for new shooters. Especially with add-ons (bipod and muzzle)

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Thanks Zechnar. I’m glad you liked it. Comments like that help me want to make more.

[@davejan744]

Dude, Doing your own loads is the best. Try different powders/primers & bullett combos, Also different velocities. Sometimes slowing em down a tad improves accuracy. Make SURE to use a good digital scale & EXACT powder weights round to round. Once you find your "sweet spot" load, stick w it. I found heavier bulletts work the best. Exact crimping also insures good powder ignition, but most tournament shooters just barely seat their bulletts. Fireforming your cases also improves accuracy but makes em "sticky" (neck resizing/length cutting only) Also, inside reaming of your primer holes clears internal burrs that cause "sideflash" ignition. Simply getting rid of thoes internal punch tits gives more uniform ignition too. Round to round uniformity is EVERYTHING. Reloading IS ADDICTIVE. Running a cleaning solvent patch every 40-50 rounds also helps. Good luck & happy shooting.

[@stephenknecht7189]

Hey quick question. Was your bolt alittle stiff when you got the rifle

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

I don’t think so. Maybe it was though and maybe that’s why I had trouble cycling rounds smoothly in the video. It’s hard to remember. It cycles fine and smooth now even though the magazine feeding is t smooth after the 3rd bullet. Most the time the 4 th bullet doesn’t want to pop up into the chamber from that magazine.

[@130shooter1]

How does it work for hunting whitetail?

Never killed a whitetail w it. There are likely better rounds for whitetail bc those are typically shorter range shots on whitetail but the 125 grain deer xp by Winchester is an amazing deer round for the 6.5. Hopefully I’ll get my mule deer with it this year. Shot a mule deer 2 years ago w this same gun but calibered in .243.

You expect to get good performance out of a crapy 50 dollar scope , your scope should cost as much as your rifle. A cheap scope is like a steering wheel thats not connected to your front wheels , you'll end up all over the place when you start adjusting your scope , have some dignity and pay for a decent scope that you can depend on.

Novice. Six point five.... SMH "six five" like three o eight not point three o eight 😒 😴 😑

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

longsnipz yep.. Novice. No arguments their. That’s why it has over 80k views. People like reviews from normal guys like myself.

[@longsnipz]

@@FlexmarkOutdoors truth. Different views from people who are not paid to say things is a good perspective 👌

Liked and subscribed. Also ordered that Oden Atlas Muzzle Brake. Nice shooting. Check me out at RetAFShooter.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Thanks! Subbed retAFShooter! Thanks for watching.

[@opditch]

BTW, I tried to install the Oden Atlas Muzzle Brake on my Ruger American 6.5 but it was tightish after about 5 turns. I stopped because I didn't want to mess up my threads on the rifle. So I called Oden and they want me to try it on another rifle, but I don't have another one to try it on. Did you have any trouble getting yours on?

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

I did it through a gunsmith, so I don’t know how tight or loose it was. So sorry I can’t help you...

[@opditch]

That's ok. I took a chance and tightened it myself and I think it went on ok without any damage. Will go to the range tomorrow to check it out. Oh, my shooting YT channel is "retafshooter"

[@steveduvall5981]

You claim a review with Winchester and Hornady not Hornady reloads, when comparing ammo one can't take a factory and justify it against a personal reload, you should have factory Hornady as well. This video helps nothing, just shows off your rifle which is most of the review. I have some of the Winchester and was hoping for a good comparison.

[@FlexmarkOutdoors]

Sorry you weren’t impressed. It was mainly a rifle review and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Some good comparisons of factory loads would also be a great idea.

what a crap--the people buy ........

Not sure I understand what you are trying to say my friend.
