MPA 6.5 Loads

[Rondogg]

Wanted to reach out and see who else is running the MPA 6.5 and what load development you are finding success with. I have tried multiples and have found the below to work the best. Let me know what you guys have found. Thanks.
Hornady 140gr ELD match
H-4350 40.5gr
2.70 OAL
Hornady brass once fired
Starline brass new

40-42grs H4350
A brass case.
A 140gr-ish bullet.
20 thou from the lands.

You guys make it seem so complicated half of the time.

 

[Rondogg]

Thanks. Not sure what makes my post so complicated, but ok. Asking others what works is a large part of what this forum is.

Its not complicated. Thats what hes saying, that it isnt. Its pretty much always what he listed.
If you cant get the gun to shoot in that area then you either suck or something is wrong with the rifle.

 

[Rondogg]

WTF!!! I never said it was difficult. I simply asked others what their recipe was. Guess your saying most on this forum are stupid. My rifle shoots just fine.

All they are saying is, it’s a 6.5 Creed. Load the H4350 behind a quality 140 and go shoot. Nobody is trying to be a smart ass, that’s just how you do it.

That oal seems a little odd

Yeah, have you checked your length to the lands? 2.7" is short, factory ammo is typically around 2.8-2.810 with 140 ELD's, I dont have my data in front of me at the moment but IIRC, my Saami chamber had me in the lands around 2.83ish. I jump my 140 and 147 eld's .030" as .025-.045 off the lands all held the same point of impact with a clear POI shift going closer than .025"

Thank you for the info

Anybody use the rifle in a hunting application yet? looking for bullet comparison for dispatching game (wolf, bear, deer) at long ranges.
