    Adventures in 6.5CM loads.

    10/21/17 Tikka T3x, 2440'DA, 66*. The interesting thing today was that the groups weren't very good until I got to max load with the H4350.. Also the shots in the middle were warmup shots after the target reset breaks, and not part of any of the groups H4350 147g ELD-M 39.5g 2511fps ave, 35fps...

    Adventures in 6.5CM loads.

    Some results from 100 yards, off bags on a concrete bench; 9/30/17 Badger 4228'DA, 88* 147g ELD-M 42.5g Superperformance, 2647fps, 6fps SD, and decent groups. I was a bit disappointed in the velocity numbers, and decided to use up the remainder of this powder with some 147g ELX-X bullets if I...

    Adventures in 6.5CM loads.

    Now after shooting 1000+ rounds of Hornady factory ammo I had a good supply to start reloading with, so over the course of several weeks I cleaned, sized (Redding bushing die), trimmed (Giruad...man, love that machine), uniformed the flash holes (K&M), uniformed the primer pockets (Lyman prep...

    Adventures in 6.5CM loads.

    Now that Hornady has the ELD-M and X bullets, I bought some factory 147g ELD-M rounds and through the T3x I got an average fps of 2802 and SD of 18fps at 3640'DA on an 83* day. I got these numbers by firing seven shots, throwing out the high and low and averaging the other 5. Maybe that's not...

    Adventures in 6.5CM loads.

    This is 200 yards with the Badger and factory140g Hornady AMAX. Edit; Found some chrono data for this combo. 2846fps, 25fps SD, at 1645' 85*, 3700' DA (estimated).

    Adventures in 6.5CM loads.

    With the shortage of H4350, I bought some alternative powders and an assortment of bullets. I'm slowly plowing through the various combinations. All testing done with Magneto Speed Sporter and off bags on a concrete bench at Ben Avery range in Phoenix. Density Altitude between 2440 and 4270...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    In. 24" CTR in 6.5CM. Have a 10x Super Sniper on it now, but will be putting more powerful glass later, and am going to dress up the stock with some Duracoat. Shoots, well right out of the box with 140g Hornade AMAX right at 1/2 MOA 100yds. Haven't had time to develop a load for it yet, but...

    Preferred Mfg'd 6.5 Creedmoor ammo.

    Using the Nikon SPOT program it shows the Hornady 120g AMAX dropping only about 4-5" less that the 140g AMAX at 960yds. Edit; Tried to upload the trajectory chart.

    TITANIUM barrels??

    Yes Ti can come in all manner of alloys, and it's ability to not work harden like Al in some applications is what makes it so cool. Plus it doesn't rust, it's non-ferrous and a bunch of other characteristics. A straight Ti barrel doesn't make any sense without a liner.

    Preferred Mfg'd 6.5 Creedmoor ammo.

    Talking mid-long range target shooting. Not really concerned with bullet expansion or wound channels, but what works best with your 6.5 Creedmoor gun at distance 800-1000yd+. Please post basic specs on rifle. Barrel length, twist, and brake type or not. New Creedmoor shooter here looking...

    6.5 Creedmoor, how are you guys liking yours?

    So I guess this as good as any thread for my first post... I've got a Savage 10BA on the way, (24" barrel with brake), and now need some ammo. Seems like from this thread that the 140g stuff is doing the best at distance, which is why I bought this gun. I've going to order some ammo, and...
