6.5 CM 140 ELDM Load

[JBT47]

(Any idea where to start using RL 26? I'm going to start some testing now with that powder for next season.)

48.7 gr RL 26 140 gr berger elite hunters at 2.87" OAL .020" off lands 210M primers 2999 fps avg.
This load is working great for me. I started at 46.5 grains just looking for pressure and got up to 49.1 and still was fine. My accurate load is 48.7 and quickloads has it at 60,600 psi.
Please start low with your gun and work up. Look around on 6.5 creedmoor and Long Range hunting for bowfishn he has a lot of info on this powder, I used what he had his best luck with and it worked out great for me.

Is this a compressed load?

104% It's just below the neck. I'm running a 26" barrel. I seen I did include that in my above post

Thanks. I'm running a 28" barrel in a Surgeon Action. Picking up another 100 FPS with that big BC would be nice.

Brass is primed with fed 210's and ready to load over H4350. Was going to start with 41 grn. 10 0ff the lands but read on hodgdon sight 36- 40 grn. 40 being max ?

My go to pet load is 42.6 great H4350 under the 140 ELDM, coal 2.815", average velocity of 2832 fps in RPR with sub moa accuracy. YMMV!

I am running the 147s at 2747, using 46 grains of Re26. I think that would be a good starting point with a 140. Mine is a 24-inch barrel.

That is a sweet spot in my neighbor's custom barrel also.
