Need help with 6.5 creedmoor load recipe!

[shawscar17]

Finally got my hands on some H4350. I only have 140 gr Hornady A Max bullets. I am shooting a custom rifle with a 26" bartlien barrel M24 contour. Anyone have a good recipes or this combo. I have heard I should start at 41gr and work up from there for a ladder test, just wondering if anyone is shooting 140gr A max and H4350. Thanks

Read through the link below. There is quite a bit of good load information in there. You can use data for pretty much all the 140 class bullets to set you initial powder charge range. I already have a load for the 142 SMK which is 41.7 gr, but I just got some AMAXs. Check out the thread.

I'm running a SS 26" Bartlein M24/M40, 1:8" twist...

40.5gr (2656FPS) and 42grs (2768FPS) gave me best accuracy and low single-digit SD.
Hornady brass trimmed to 1.91", F210M, 142SMK, COL 2.815" (2.215" to ogive using Hornady comparator)...SAAMI spec chamber.

Had 4 different creedmoor's, with br2's i have found 42-43 gr is a sweet spot for accuracy and velocity. Current barrel likes 43, a shilen barrel loves 42.4, and the factory lrp barrel shot best at 42. I had good accuracy at 41.0&41.5, just kinda slow, the above loads are in the 2800-2840 fps range in 26" tubes.
