6.5 cm powder testing
Well, did some different loads with the RL17 and found that 41.5 gns works great with the 139 Scenars. I shot a 1", 3 shot group at 300 yds. Bullet seating at 0.020" off lands, 2.840 coal. I just got some Lapua brass and a couple hundred RDF bullets to try. I heard these are similar to the...- 6.5 Luster

6.5 cm powder testing

6.5 cm powder testing
Any suggestions? I have never used this powder and am looking for a MV between 2750-2850. There is no data on Alliants website for the 6.5. I have a 26" barrel.- 6.5 Luster

6.5 cm powder testing
Just loaded up some 139 grn Scenars 2.840. was difficult to find some load recipes for the 6.5 creedmoor using R17. I ended up starting at 44.3g, 44.5g and 44.8g. Now I just need a day where the wind isn't blowing 25 mph to go out and test. Anyone have some experience loading 6.5 with R17?- 6.5 Luster

I'm getting the MPA BA competition chassis for my Savage 12 LRP in 6.5 creed. Looks to be a great chassis and is really taking notice in the PRS. I like where this company is going with there practical, real world application.- 6.5 Luster

Savage LRP in 6.5 Creedmore
You thought you were late to the game, I picked up the Savage 12 LRP as well. I too am very impressed with this rifle after working up some hand loads. I went out last week and was able to get 1/4 moa at 300 yrds. Ned I also wrestled with the idea of a chassis system and was about to pull the...- 6.5 Luster
