HI EVERYONE,
I JUST STARTED WORKING UP SOME LOAD DEVELOPMENT IN MY NEWLY RE-BARRELED 6.5CM...I AM AT JUST UNDER 200 ROUNDS OF FACTORY AMMO THROUGH IT. I'M USING 147 GR ELD-M BULLETS WITH PETERSON VIRGIN BRASS WITH FGMM LARGE RIFLE PRIMERS. TWO DIFFERENT POWDERS H 4350 AND SUPERFORMANCE....I SAW STICKY/HEAVY BOLT AT 43.9G OF SUPERFORMANCE WITH VELOCITY AVG 2775FPS AND ON HODGDON'S WEBSITE IT SAYS MAX LOAD OF 45.2...AND SAW THE SAME USING H4350 40.9G WITH VELOCITY AVG 2740 WTH HODGDON SAYING 41.8 MAX LOAD....BOTH WITH SD OF 7.6...I AM RUNNING A THUNDERBEAST ULTRA 9-6.5 CB SUPPRESSOR...COULD IT BE NECK TENSION ON THE VIRGIN BRASS OR SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY???

Hi Guys,
I've been out of the reloading game for about a year, and can't find my load data for 147gr eld-m's using H4350.
I'm running a 26" HH Custom with a 1:7.5 Twist....but am also going to be re-barreling my TL-3 with a Proof CF at 24" with a 1:8, so any of your guides are greatly appreciated

Anyone have any time on the MDT ACC chassis? I've got one coming in for T&E as a folder so would like to hear your impressions before I head out on the range

HI ALL,
I AM RUNNING A SILENCERCO HYBRID ON MY 6.5 CREED, BUT AM LOOKING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO MAKES CALIBER SPECIFIC END CAPS. I AM CURRENTLY USING THE .30 CAL.
THANKS

Has anyone been reloading with the new SMK 150's? I was out the other day with my first attempts with them, and had decent SD's and velocities starting at 42 grains of superformance with .5 grain increments up to 44 Grains which got me to 2790FPS with an SD of 11. I plan on going up to 45 grains, but my groups were awful at 100. It could have been me, the wind, and the fact that my battery on my magneto was about to die. I was rushing.
Thoughts/Help will be well received.
Thanks.

Does anyone have any updated load info on the SMK 150 Grain? I have info from about July, but nothing since. Got it from the "Sierrabulletsblog.com"

If anyone has quick load, and the time, could somebody run a scenario for me? I am using a new powder RL-26 in my 6.5 creed. I have a 26" 1:7.5 twist barrel. I am running the 147 grain ELD-M's. I am curious as to where I might see pressure. My base to ogive is 2.193 and my COAL is 2.83. I am using Alpha brass which has a thickness of .015 and is similar to Lapua and a smaller case capacity than Hornady. The h20 case capacity is 50.1gr filled to the top. I hope I've provided the necessary info. I am considering quick load but I'm running a MAC and not a PC so I will eventually have to do all the computer conversions to run windows

Anyone have any info on RL-26 And the 147 Grain Pills? I'm using a 1:7.5 twist barrel and I've been told to give this combo a try. Also using Alpha brass and FGMM Primers.
Thanks to all

Took the new build to a mile yesterday. 7 hits out of 15 with two on a 10" plate. Not too shabby for my first time at that distance. Most likely my equipment.

Can anyone confirm that the 147grain like to jump 40 to 50 thou. A friend got some info from a well known builder, and I am still working out a load with Alpha Brass in my new rifle that has a 1:7.5 twist.  I had some pressure issues running them at 10-20 thou so I'm thinking its a combo of the faster twist and the shorter jump.

MY NEW 6.5 BUILD FROM THE AWESOME GUYS AT CORE SHOOTING SOLUTIONS

Has anyone tried or using the JAE 700 chassis/stock??
I just ordered one for my new 6.5 Build

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY UPDATED DATA FOR THE IMR 4451? I'M LOADING MOSTLY 140 GRAIN PILLS, BUT WILL BE TINKERING WITH THE 130'S AS WELL. JUST RECEIVED 8LBS, AND BEING THAT H4350 IS A UNICORN, CURIOUS TO SEE IF THIS POWDER CAN COMPETE.

Has anyone had any time behind the ATACR 7-35 FFP? Thinking of switching out of my Valdada 6-24FFP.
Would love to get some feedback, optical clarity, etc. My Valdada has Schott Glass but reticle options are limited.

HAS ANYONE HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THE 122GR PILLS FROM WARNER?? AT A BUCK A PILL, I'M MORE THAN A LITTLE INTRIGUED

Anyone have any NEW load data for using IMR 4166 for the 140 Gr pills? I have the obvious stuff from Hodgdon's site, but could use some better and updated info. I have quite a bit that I never used for 308, and with H4350 being nearly impossible to locate, I am hoping that 4166 might work.

Does anyone have any experience behind the MPA BA chassis? I am curious as I am considering dropping my Stiller Tac 30 Barreled action into one of them.
Thanks

Anyone have any load data for the 139 GR for the 6.5? I currently have H4350, RL 17, and IMR4895, but low on 4350.
I have loaded 140gr Berger Hybrids well with 42gr of 4350 but wanted to know if theres any REAL difference in the charge between 140 and 139 gr pills

I am receiving a new Accurate Ordnance 6.5 Creed tomorrow. 24" bartlein barrel, Stiller Tac 30 action, Manners mcs T4A stock, in Moss Camo.
Anyone out there have any thoughts on the setup?? Haven't shot a bolt action since my DTA SRS A1 in 308 back in 2015.

I AM RUNNING A 20" LMT MWS IN 6.5 CM. COULD USE SOME HELP WITH POWDER CHARGE AND COL USING HORNADY BRASS AND CCI 200 PRIMERS
ANY AND ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
