    6.5 Creedmoor

    I tried to send a pm but it wouldn’t work so I’ll just post it here. It’s not my design but I can’t remember where I got it.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Do you mean the blank target? I don’t remember where I got it but I can pm you one if you like.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I’ll try to post some pics of my load work up. Keeping velocity down will help with barrel life. I went on up to 42.3 but it didn’t work.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    How far out of the lands are you? I’ve heard that the Hybrids like a little jump. Mine seems to like about .050 run at the rifling. I found a node for mine @ 41.7-41.9 with H4350 in Lapua brass. Avg 2769. I’ve started with the Bergers in a new stick and trying Reloder 16 with this one. Also...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Consistency is the problem with factory ammo. Lot to lot. But if you can find a butt load of it same lot, you’re good to go. And it gives you some information about bullet jump and brass to use. Great shooting Guys.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Your brass is telling you to back off. If you need more velocity you could have your chamber throated longer or switch to a different caliber. 42.8 might get your hand and/or face.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    How many rounds do you have through it? Maybe different lot of powder, brass capacity or maybe my chrono just reads faster. I don’t have another one to check it with. The difference in rifles is why we have to work up each one individually.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Outstanding velocity. I don’t know what it is but I can’t get the ELDM to shoot in any of my Creedmoors. I don’t know if I’m not jumping them enough or too much. I’ve had much better luck with the HPBT’s and the Sierras. I’ve never tried Re17. Re16 works well though.

    Very nice.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I'm using the same load with Berger Hybrid Target 140's and my experience has been the same. Very consistent brass. I went up to 41.9 with H4350 and poi on target was the same. Velocity was 2769 from 26" barrel.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Those seem like some slow velocities. May be a slower lot of powder and the 22" barrel but I got 2790 @ 40.90 grains in Lapua brass with 136 Scenar and 26"barrel. I'm at 200 feet altitude. Been getting very good ES and SD's with the Re16 and CCI 450's.

    Howa 1500 builds **post them**

    I'd say that would be the ammo of choice. Good shooting. I've got a Bartlein barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor 1/8 twist, 5R, 26" and 3B contour threaded to fit a Howa action. Can't decide which one to tear down and put it on. I've got a 20" HB 308 and a 6.5 Creedmoor with the slim sporter...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Have you checked to determine what your length is to the lands? I’ve heard that those 2 bullets are very jump tolerant but I always start with.020 off the lands with mine. Interested to see what you come up with. What brand of brass are you using? I’m using Lapua in my Savage because the rim is...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I’m working on a load for the 147’s also but I haven’t had a chance to shoot yet. I’ve got some RL 16 I’m going to try also with the 147’s. Keep us posted on how you do.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Lots of people get good results with the 140 Eld but I couldn’t get them to work for me. Maybe just the lot I got. The 142 Sierra and the 140 Hornady BTHP did great. The Hybrid Bergers are great also.

    6.5CM New Rifle - Load Development

    If you’ve loaded accurate ammo for the 308 , you’ll be amazed with the Creedmoor. Very easy to load for and most will shoot just about anything you put in them. I found a good load for mine with 41.9 grns H4350, Berger Hybrid Target 140’s in Lapua brass and CCI 450’s. Seating them.050 off the...

    6.5 Cr 147ELD

    I’ve got some 147’s loaded up but I haven’t tried them yet. Using H4350, Lapua brass and CCI 450’s. Seated.020 OTL using a 26” Shilen barrel. I’ve been rebuilding my range and haven’t had a chance to shoot yet but I’m about done with it. I’m at 200’ asl, high temps in the 90’s and humidity in...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I’ve used it and it works well. I use H4350, IMR 4350, IMR 4451 and RL 16. I used 39.5 grns in Starline LP brass, BR2 primers and Hornady 140 HPBT. On the lite side but very accurate. I tried it to have a replacement if one of the other ones got hard to find. I’ve found accurate loads with all...
