    Light bullets in 6.5 creedmoor

    How have the 140 class projectiles worked for you with IMR 4895? Or IMR 4451, Superformance, or H414? I have all these already, and Hodgden says they do well with the lighter fodder. Now if the 140's, or 130's, work with IMR 4895, this day's getting better. Also, I only have about 3# of...

    Light bullets in 6.5 creedmoor

    is anyone using "lighter" projectiles in their 6.5 CM bolt guns? I'm looking at 95gr v-max and maybe some of the 100's from Hornady for coyotes at 500 and closer. I've got a few pounds of IMR 4895 and the Hodgden load data indicates that it's a good powder for lighter projectiles. On a...

    6.5 cm is definitely on the menu, but in a bolt gun. Tried it in a gasser and it didn't impress me. It's not a large frame issue, my .308 OBR is a 1/2 moa rifle out to 850 - for three shots. A lot of three shot groups on that one. Thanks all for the replies

    What you said about shooting position changing is something i hadn't thought about. Kind of like a thread i read on here a few years back about zeroing. If I can find it, I'll link. Reminiscent of the Kraft drill but not identical.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Update: Been away from home for a few days but before I left I shot two five round groups at 500. One with some MK262 and another with some Freedom Munitions 69 grain stuff. The 262 grouped at just over 1 moa - 5 and a 1//4 and the FM was about 5 5/8. The right drift was there, but not as...

    Could be. I tried a ten-shot group last weekend. MOA ish at 300. Some days I'm on my game and some not. I'm going to repeat the drill this weekend with some other varieties and see if anything stands out. Besides poor marksmanship, that is. Thanks for the reply.

    What am I doing wrong?

    You didn't come across as snobbish. If anything I'm naive for expecting premium performance for bargain price. Trying some different ammo is definitely a good exercise. On another note, how big is the bull on the USMC rifle qual? America's finest are able to turn in some pretty...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Gents, Appreciate all the replies. Few points Concur that a single 3-round group is luck. Majority of three round groups being that small does indicate (not prove) that perhaps the set-up might be G2G and that I am the problem. That's the case. This combo is usually a sub moa performer...

    What am I doing wrong?

    It's an 8 twist and no clue on the velocity. Held 10 minutes up (good starting point for 500 yards and ended up needing another moa. I can do OK driving the rifle. I've got a LaRue 308 that holds half minute out to 850 with FGMM 168's (cheaper than the 175's). Stocks are similar. Same...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Gathering data on my 18" AR. 223 wylde, Leupold 3.5-10, Frontier 75gr. ammunition. Everything's great at 100, 200, 300, and 400. Even turned in a 2.5 inch 3 shot group at 400. However, at 500, the wheels fall off. The group opens up to 7 or 8 inches and is offset about 1.5moa to the...
