    I looked through the 6creed data in the reloading depot till my eyes hurt. How about guys chime in with what worked for them, thanks. I'm using 105hybrids, lapua brass, cci450 primers.
     
    6 Creed Load data: what the Pro's use

    Looks like 40 grains is a place to play around....

    Perfect I just got 4lbs and gunna work up a load with 108ELD or Berger 105... Haven't decided yet. Hornady brass and federal 210m. Seems like I can skip the 38.4-39.0 and start at 39.0
     
    Amazing. I got to see what node I'm at under 3100 with a temp/elevation buffer of 20-30fps. The competition next month (if not canceled) caps us at 3100 and don't want a DQ if you get checked.

    Running 42.2grn H4350 in Hornady brass, Fed large rifle primers, and Sierra 110smk. Out of my 26" criterion barrel, velocity around 3095, groups about .22in
     
    I actually just shot 38.4-40.2 RL16, 210m primers and Hornady brass. There is a node for 109 Berger's at 2940fps. Now I ran that in my ballistics software and get 70 inches (1.9mil) drift in 10mph full value wind. Now if I up the powder and spin this up 100fps to 3040 the difference in same wind is 66 inches (1.8mil). Obviously real world might change the outcome but I don't think speed on these 109 Berger's are going to change much under 1000 which is what I shoot. So I'm not gunna chase that 3100fps goal and save some barrel life.
