    New Berger 6.5mm 144gr LRHT

    Don’t have any “hard data” but I ran them out to a mile this past weekend using the MV from my Magneto and the BC on the box and had to make 0 elevation adjustments. Had no “fliers” every single miss was spot on elevation and just an error in wind. All 3 of the shooters we had went 3/3 at 1mile...

    New Berger 6.5mm 144gr LRHT

    10 shots of that load only so far. 5SD 14ES across the 10. Wish the ES was a little lower ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Range Report Berger Match Grade Ammunition 6.5 Creedmoor 140 Grain Hybrid Target

    Got a couple sticky bolt lifts on my t3x with a 28” Bartelin but it held around a 9SD and I shot multiple .3MOA 5 shot groups and this.

    New Berger 6.5mm 144gr LRHT

    I am game for anything that means less rounds used for load development. Using that method where did you end up with these?

    New Berger 6.5mm 144gr LRHT

    My first real "ladder" test. From my results what would you suggest? I was thinking 42.3gr but also 41.9gr could be just as good. As far as the order of operations if I was going to try them at like 500yrds to see grouping at distance should I do that first or do a little seating depth testing...

    New Berger 6.5mm 144gr LRHT

    Hmm that is quite the difference from when the Hybrids were first released and Bryan suggested .015 but said it did not matter and that was pretty much my experience because I shot them all the way from .010 to .150 in three different 6.5 creeds and noticed little to no difference in groups with...

    New Berger 6.5mm 144gr LRHT

    Picked up 100 of these to try as I just swapped barrels so seemed like a good time to swap bullets. Lapua brass 1x fired R16 CCI450 28” Bartelin 6.5CM loaded to about .010 jump and that was 2.92 COAL for my rifle Loaded 3 shots for every charge weight to get more data than the single shot...

    Gunsmithing 6.5 creedmoor chamber issues

    It was a SAMMI reamer, regular 199ish freebore. Turns out it literally was as stupid as just having something in the chamber, cleaned everything out, fired a few rounds, and all is good now. 2.910 OAL for 140 Hybrid to touch lands. Shot 2 different 5 shot 0.3MOA groups with the Berger loaded...

    For those of you with match chambers about how much jump are you seeing from factory 147ELDM?

    Gunsmithing 6.5 creedmoor chamber issues

    Hmm if that was the case is it fixable with a different tool he would have already or would he have to get a new reamer altogether?

    Gunsmithing 6.5 creedmoor chamber issues

    A local smith, going to take it back Monday just wanting to make sure I didn’t overlook something this is my first barrel swap.

    Gunsmithing 6.5 creedmoor chamber issues

    If that were the case, I would think there would be problems with the hornady OAL tool.

    Gunsmithing 6.5 creedmoor chamber issues

    I did not check with an empty case only without anything in the action. I will try that. I have measured with a comparator it does not really matter when the problem I am reporting is that I have to seat it further in than factory in order to get it to not touch the lands. (Or at least that’s...

    Action is T3X with a Bartelin barrel if that matters

    Gunsmithing 6.5 creedmoor chamber issues

    No resistance when empty. The length of a new hornady 147eld match was ~2.806

    Gunsmithing 6.5 creedmoor chamber issues

    It seems crazy to me to be that far off. Is this something I am missing here?
