With 41.2 grain load and 140 BTHP it measured ave 2814fps at 70 deg and 2826 at 93 deg.

I think it's a relatively new powder compared to varget h4350 R17etc.. and more readly available. H4350 has been almost impossible to find in the last year or so. I was finally able to get some H4350 locally but the 2000MR is working out better in my rifle so far. Its also the best powder that...

Any round top SA base will fit the LRP. I have the Farrell SAV-RTS-LP-1-20 on my LRP 12

Anything for AICS Savage?

The load that im probably going to settle on is around 2800-2820fps. Im new to 6.5mms so im happy with 2800fps. Even at only 2800 the 140BTHP will drift 15" less at 1000yds with 10mph wind than my 308 178BTHP load at 2824fps. At least according to Shooter. Not sure how it will work out in real...

What speeds were you getting with the 140s?

I had Roedale clamp on my 308 as well. Took 12 weeks to get it but it worked very well. Shot 800 rounds with it and it didnt move 1 mm. I stopped using it when i had the rifle rebarreled. It's the 21.5 version. Let me know if you're interested. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

Here are some 260 loads im doing OCW test on. Stock Savage 12 LRP. Lapua 139 grain and 2000MR. So far the Lapuas are not working in my rifle. FPS is all over the place. I bought some 4350 to try with lapuas. If the results are the same then im done with lapuas. Hornady 140 BTHP and 2000MR...

I hear what you saying about changing barrels. I had Bartlein barrel installed on my Savage 10 FCP 308 and it completly changed the rifle. no fliers. much more consistent shot to shot. I dont have a bore scope so im not sure how the inside of the barrel looks like. to my naked eye it looks...

Just to update im using the 308 comp die with .292 bushing to neck size my 260 brass and its working perfectly. I wonder if redding is really making the same exact die and just using different part #s for 308 and 260 Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

I did a OCW test today with 139 grain Lapua and 140grain berger hybrid s and 2000MR. Not sure what to make if 41.6grain load and the FPS. There is a 100fps difference between 41.6 and 41.2. The rest of FPS seem reasonable. No pressure signs/ blown primers this time. I had to back off 0.085" off...

Well I got some bad news. 42.8 and 43.0 grain loads have blown primer pockets and 42.4-42.6 have very loose pockets. Total of 9 cases lost. Its weird since all the 43.0 grain showed was slight ejector marks. No sticky bolt. Primers were slightly flat but no worse than factory Noslers I shot. I...

About what? Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

You're right. Fire forming is not the correct term. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

No gunsmithing needed. Any SA savage with 4.4" screw spacing and side bolt release should work. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

Cool. Well I just got back from the range. Rifle shot under MOA at 100yds. Cant complain considering it was the 1st time out and I was shooting random loads. Rifle functioned perfectly. I loaded nosler comp 140 grain with Alliant 2000mr from 40.5 to 44 grains. What suprised me was the fps I...
