6.5 creed and H4350

[46490]

I used up my H4895 so now onto another powder H4350. I want to challenge myself to the 1000 yard milk jug shoot. Any suggestions on component's - I already have the brass Norma LR primer and Lapua SR primer also the powder. What I need are loads for a Ruger RPR 1st gen, Vortex PST 6x24x50 FFP EBR2C Milrad reticle. What load data and bullets do you all use and or recommend. I do have a few Barnes 140 Match Burners and some 140 Hornady ELD's. So any equipment and loads will be appreciated.
Thanks

41.5 H4350 with a 140 is a known accuracy load for the 6.5 creed

Not real sure about his load but a close friend of mine is loading RL-19 with 140 class bullets in his 6.5 C M with great groups @ 100 yds.

I ran the 140 eldm s @ 2800 with H4350 was just over 42g with the Lapua spb, shot well with a 20 th jump.
Tried various powders I found around 2800 or a little more to be a good node for the 140 s in the cm @ 1000 .

40.5 gr H4350, 140 gr Horn A Max, CCI #41, .030 jump in my 6.5 CM. 1000 yd target.

I’ll second 41.5 with the 140s shot great out of my rpr

I run 41.4gr of H4350 under a 140 berger LRBT in Lapua brass with a CCI450. Make sure you work up first. The same combo is too much in a buddies rifle.

I run h4350 in one rifle at 41.5gr with berger 140vld.
Another rifle im using r16 with 140eldm and getting 100 fps faster speeds.

Last summer I did some testing with the 140 gr bullets I had on the shelf.

All Hornady, 5 shots each with 40.5 gr, H4350, CCI #41 primers and Starline brass.
I was on the 1000 yd range that uses a doppler measurement at the target. The FPS that I observed was at the target 1000 yds away NOT at the muzzle.

140 Match - 1287 FPS AVG
140 A MAX - 1327 FPS AVG
140 ELD - 1373 FPS AVG.

I am not trying to tell you what bullet is the best as all 3 will give me a sub MOA group. Just a little higher on the target due to the increase in FPS and the B.C. G1 factor.

That is what I have loaded under some 140 Gold Dots, in one of my Creeds.

I recently tried some H4831SC in my creedmoor with 145g bullets and was very impressed with the velocity and accuracy.
The case is full but I’m getting 2870 FPS and tight groups from a 28” barrel.
It’s a 8 twist Bartline and it seems faster than my old barrels.
Just another option.

 

[Creedmoor02]

I use 143 gr eldx and r-16 with mine and get .2” group at 200 yd if that helps. I can’t get a hold of h4350 where i live but was lucky to get r-16.

The original hornady load as printed on the box was federal 210m 41.5 gr H4350. I believe the coal was 2.820. Somewhere around there will be your most accurate load. FWIW R 26 will get you 150 fps more ball park.

For my RPR gen 1, krieger barrel 7.5 twist:

Lapua brass
CCI 450
136 scenars
41.5 H4350
~2800 FPS

Hornady Brass
GM 210M
140 ELDs
41.2 H4350
~2700 FPS

Also, if you are using the stock trigger, you can replace it with this spring and get it to a crisp 1 lb. I prefer this spring with the stock trigger to the timney

Running almost exact same load with the eldx and was sub MOA out at 375. Looking forward to trying at 700. No place around to go for 1000. Did have some good luck on calm day with the 123 Scenars at 700

H4350 is the "go to" but in both my 6.5CM's it was Meh. Ho Hum! RL-16 was better!

42.3gr H4350 with 140gr ELD-M, CCI 200 primer and loading .015” off the lands provided great 1000yd results in my RPR.
