I'm using 42.0gn of H4350. MV of 2751, with no pressure signs in my rifle, 26in barrel. Seeing consistent <0.5MOA with this, so, since hotter loads can reduce barrel life, I stopped there. Heed the above cautions to work up slowly. Safety first!
Already posted a picture of my 6.5 Creedmoor w/McRees chassis in the Precision Rifle Picture thread, here's a link:

That's a beautiful spot to shoot MitchK ! Very nice rifle too. Sure wish I had land available for 1000 yards. If you need any help "proving" that range I'm more than willing. This link show my rifle and how it shoots...
Thanks for the heads up! They also have Wolf ME in stock. Ordered mine this AM.

Don't know of any dealers that have a bunch of different chassis systems. Here's a link to the "Complete Chassis Reference Guide" thread here on the Hide.

Here's a feature I need but don't see in either Ballistic (I'm currently using v.4.2.2) or Ballistic AE: Cant Angle. I note that Cant Angle is available in JBM on line.
A lot of tactical matches are including odd barricades that require one to shoot with the rifle/scope canted to 45 degrees...
I recently acquired my first 6.5 Creedmoor. Here's a picture of the rifle:
Specs:

Check this thread for info/pictures on how it shoots...
I found the Sniper 101 videos a few weeks ago too, and have now viewed about 2/3 of them. I also think they are pretty good, and for the price, excellent. He goes into much more detail than either of the two long range courses I've participated in. In my opinion, with the videos so far, he's...

Wonderful range. Chief O'Neil runs a tight ship. Last time I was there (early Jan.) he told me of plans to extend the range to ~1000 yards, but didn't specify any timeline. See details on the...
Below is a link to a good Sniper 101 video. Covers the importance of temperature both as an atmospheric factor (for air density) and the effect of powder temp on powder burn rate and thus muzzle velocity (MV). One's firing solution should account for both, especially at longer ranges. Note...
Got my first 6.5 Creedmoor back in Oct. Shoots great. See details and shooting results out to 700+ yards in this thread w/target picts & group measurements:

Re: A project I've been working on
That's a realy nice project! A couple of quick questions:
How much weight is saved vs. the McRee front end?
And, how does the center of gravity (balance point) change for the setup?
Thanks.
