6.5 Creedmoor

[misser]

Most people just reload to control all aspects of accuracy and hand select components. Sounds like you're doing things the hard way for little to no benefit.

control all aspects of accuracy ?? humm .
do good lots, that is to say lots that are much closer to the same dimensions from one to another lot number ,do anything for you? just by chance I found two different lot numbers that are over 20 thousands different . Would I quibblo about 5 thousands difference or would I just show you's that these two lot numbers are only off by 5 thousands difference .

I can appreciate the fact that if nobody knows what you're doing they can't say you're doing it wrong. You say .020" but .020" of what? OAL? What about all the other influential variables like charge weight by tenths of a grain, neck tension, distance to lands, flash hole uniformity and so on. Hand loading my COAL is usually within .0015". Maybe it's just me but breaking down factory ammo to fine tune charge weight just doesn't seem worthwhile. Hornady 140 match had a SD of 11 in my gun and I can't imagine doing better by taking them apart before hand.

So used hybrid 100V with Peterson virgin brass, Remington bench rest primer 7 1/2 seated to the lands with Sierra 140 BTHP gave me an average of 2720fps with 40.0gr and less than a half inch grouping.

If you are running 153’s and H4350. What’s your charge weight and velocity?

 

[Rob01]

I’m using 153 ATips and not the Bergers but using 40.6grns and getting 2680fps area with my 28” barrel.

Wow! Seems like 6.5 Creedmoor has lost some of the popularity it once had. No one has posted anything on this thread in the past 18 days.
Just an observation.

Well, lots of people are playing around with all these new magic chamberings and starting over. 6.5CM is pretty much figured out except for what is going to be barrel or gun specific. I bought my first 6.5CM about 2 months ago so I'm still working things up.

LOL! Come to think of it, that's where I should be!!

 

[MrMcCrackin]

i still need to buy projo's, just dragging my feet until i absolutely have to

 

[dukecola]

Um, I shot a Coyote silhouette target at 1120yrs today with my 6.5. Wind was changing direction, variable at 10mph. I'm drinking a brew right now to celebrate.

Got my G3 Razor back from warranty work. Need to remount/zero it. Then I'll load some ammo.

Alpha, BR4s, 41.5 H4350, 140 hybrids seated to mag length of an AW mag. My PVA barrel likes it.
