Hi Everyone
I have been working a load for my 6.5 creedmoor chassis for a while now lol.
Components
Lapua 6x fired and annealed
Trimmed with Giraud
Shoulder bump .0015-.002
Berger 144 LRHT
CCI 450 & Fed 205m
H4350
Rifle
Defiance Ruckus Tactical
Bartlein 28” M24
Ec Tuner @0
Mdt ACC Elite
Triggertech Diamond 2 stage
Adjustable bag rider
Accutac bipod
I settled on the 41.3grs H4350 in the last tests and did the seating depth at 100 yards first and then 400 yards
100 yards test showed I have a seating depth node from 2.121 to 2.097 cbto
went outside and shot them at 400 yards
Surprisingly the cbto that had the most vertical at 100 yards had the best group at 400 yards
This was all with cci450
So I settled at 2.118 cbto
Yesterday I tested the Fed 205m
40.3grs with 0.2grs inc up to 41.8grs
The first 8 groups are the results with Fed 205m
Last 4 groups are with cci450
The storm started and I had to leave.
At this point I am just tired of seeking crazy accuracy just want to have a load that is reliable and I don’t have to mess with it that much in summer time.
Usage of the gun will be shooting bench up to 800-1000 yards
One friend of mine whose a F-class shooter told me if you are changing primers you don’t need to play with seating depth again.
But I don’t see any velocity flat spot with Fed205 but I see some similar POIs
What would you pick to just be done with it?
You can see most of these groups are between 0.1 to 0.3 MOA at worst but something In my mind keep pushing me to seek for more accurate load but at this point I am overwhelmed with all these tests and overthinking everything lol.
Thanks for your help
