Patriot Valley Arms Rock Creek Barrel

[sig2009]

26" 6.5 creedmoor barrel from Josh at PVA. Found the load she loves. 140gn Nosler RDF 42gn IMR4350 .050 off lands. 100 yards. 5 shots. Can't wait to chrono this!

This was the last 5 of the day. I have always had good luck previous with the RDF and IMR 4350. Better than H4350!

I also have a 6.5 CM Rock Creek 26" barrel made by Josh at PVA but this one hates the RDF 140gr, tested with H4350 and IMR4451 from touching the lands thru 0.07" and never got consistency with it. On the contrary it makes one rag hole with the ELD-M 140 gr with both powders at 0.020 off the lands in three different nodes.

Funny. The eldm suck in my barrel with H4350 but the RDF with IMR4350 loves it.

Yeah that's funny how two barrels from the same manufacturer chambered by the same gunsmith behave so different.
