6.5 Cr 147ELD

Hornady brass, fed 210, 147 eld-m, I've been using 40.5 grn h-4350. With a 24" barrel and a suppressor I'm right about 2700. Zero pressure signs, I had ejector marks at 41.8grn.

So far brass is doing great, at 5 firings. I started annealing every load after I had crazy SD after the 3rd loading.
 
Peterson SRP brass, 147 @ 2.80, 47 grains of Reloder 26, 2,870 fps in my 26” Bartlein that isn’t even broken in yet. .5 moa 5 shot groups!
 
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 the 70-80% range so I should reach max charge early and not a lot of speed. I’ve read the thread with the 25 pages and not much on the 147’s.
