I've shot the factory Hornady 108 ELD-M's in the 6mm Creedmoor but not the 103's. The factory stuff shot well.

Not to shabby with a $379.00 rifle and factory ammo.

I'm not a fan of nosler products. Personal prejudice I suppose but their products have left a bad taste in my mouth too many times.  I suppose if for some reason I'm not happy with the bergers I may try something else.  Also I wish to limit my projectiles to hunting bullets. Not a fan of running multiple loads. 

I look at nosler like bh looks at tika  💩

Got her all put back together and loaded up some middle of the road loads to fire form my brass. Got to my range as it started snowing like crazy right in my face. Didn't hang a new target due to the weather. Hard to see my shots through the quarter sized snow flakesand really wasn't trying very hard as I was getting soaked but after getting it close to center I printed what looked like 1.5" 30 shot group. Not bad for first 40 rounds down the tube and no load development.  Deleting the first 5 shots gave avg 2866 with the 115's.  V3 worked flawlessly

Chop a couple inches of barrel off and rechamber... depending on how much of the bore you shot out. Having a 24" barrel compared to the 26" you will have less velocity and have to rework your load but at the same time it saves you money since you won't need to buy a new barrel. Or chop the barrel, rechamber, and still go buy the new barrel so you can swap whenever you want or when the old barrel shoots out again.
