Hornandy 6mm creedmoor 108gr eld ammo

[Doc68]

Anyone have any of this on hand an can tear a round down to see the wt of the powder charge?

I pulled apart about 15 rounds (bought the ammo for the brass) and the powder charge averaged about 40.2 gr. BTW, the five factory rounds I did shoot went into a 0.66" 5-shot center-to-center group, so they are not too shabby. Berger 105 gr hybrids with H4350 and CCI-BR2 primers shoot even better.

Stop buying loaded 6mm Creed rounds and buy the tons of 6.5 creed brass.

Run it through 6mm Creed die and bam you have 6mm creed brass.

No need for all that - Lapua sells 6mm Creedmoor SRP brass and it's brilliant.

How do you like the srp brass versus the lrp brass.

 

[Doc68]

Thanks. That's what i had gotten before when i pulled 3rds down. Just had forgotten what i got. What was your MV if you by chance chronoed it.

I bought 100 pieces of Lapua brass but haven't loaded them yet. Workmanship and uniformity look great. But during load development with the Hornady brass, I shot a couple of three round groups in the 1's at 100. So I don't expect the Hornady brass to be much of a limiting factor. I'm running 41.8 - 42.1 gr of H4350 (near max load so usual caveats) with the Hornady brass at about 3060 fps. Didn't chrono the factory loads.
