  2. Check me -- Load data for Superformance powder, in 6.5 Creedmoor

    Am considering doing up a load for a Savage 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor, using the Hodgdon Superformance powder. But I've noticed that the Sierra 6th Ed. manual has a significantly higher max powder charge listed. No listings for the Nosler RDF bullet with Superformance, but here are the closest...
  3. New to Handloading: 6.5 Creedmoor Powder Preferences

    Hi all, For powder, I have H4350 and Reloader-16 as options for 6.5 Creedmoor, but I'm curious what you all use and why. With the availability of these two options being limited, what are your go-to powders, and how do they compare to H4350 and Reloader-16? I keep on hearing those...
  4. Chronograph question

    Hello everyone! I am puzzled! I bought a magnetospeed c3 chrono and did a ladder test using IMR4451. Ten 5 shot loads to a max of 41.3 in .2 increments! The load book says I should be getting 2600fps+ and the most I got out of the max load was 2250fps!
  5. 6mm Creed from 6.5 Creed Lapua

    If I neck a Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor case down to 6mm Creedmoor, does the neck thickness of the brass change? If so, how much? Based on other threads in this forum, it may require neck turning. Yes, I know Lapua already makes 6mm CM brass but it only comes in SRP. -TH

  7. Kreiger "Deep Chambered" Barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor?

    I have an older post-64 Winchester M70 Match Rifle in 308 Win with an Obermeyer 1:11" 5R barrel. I shot this rifle both "across the course" and long-range for a long time. Unfortunately, I don't have a good round count down the barrel. But I am pretty confident that the barrel has seen better...

  9. Optimal case to push 147 ELD?

    I am in the process of building my first proper bolt gun and have been lurking on this forum for quite some time. The bulk of my research has focused around finding a cartridge that will push the heavier .264 projectiles (140-147) to 1200+ yards, with the intent of shooting steel out in the...

  14. New Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor depriming pin size (small flash hole)

    I understand the flash hole diameter in the new brass with the small primer has an unusually small opening. Anyone using this brass now and if so, what kind of depriming die are you successfully using? The only one I have found anyone says works consistently is the LEE Universal Depriming Die....
  15. 6.5Creedmoor bullets

    Running a RPR 6.5CM. Would like a bullet to serve two purposes: long range range shooting (to 1000 yards most of the time) and a good hunting bullet for whitetails with a max range of 500 to 600 yards where I hunt. Any suggestions? I really would prefer to stick in the 140 grain bullet weight...

  17. late night window shopping

    Last night I started pricing out how much it would cost to build a new 6.5 grendel upper for my ar-15. I got it down to 725 but then i realized I could just buy a Howa mini and stock for around 550. Of course, then I thought for 50 dollars more I could get a 6.5 creedmoor and have a lot more...

  19. 6.5 Creedmoor

    I have recently purchased a Ruger Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor. Since I am unable to find 4350 powder anywhere I am using Varget @ 35.7g while using Berger 140g VLD Bullets. The result have been OK but I was wondering if someone has found a better load for going out to 500yds and beyond. Thanks...
  20. Going Beyond Max Recommended Loads?

    I have been looking for some advice on 6.5 Creedmoor loads for my powder and bullet (in this case H4350 & Berger 140 hybrids) and noticed that some of the best result were slightly above the maximum recommended load in the Berger handbook. For example the max load is 40.7 but many of the best...
