6.5 Creedmoor 144 Berger Staball 6.5

Does anyone have any insights or advice using the 144 Berger LRH and Staball 6.5?
Thanks

My tikka shoots consistent 1moa groups with pretty much any charge of 6.5 Staball and a 147eldm, 143 eldx, and 130tmk. 10 shot groups

Not the bullet you are looking for but for my tikka it works well with everything I’ve tried. H4350 has shot just slightly better, for me not a meaningful amount for hunting

Have you found it likes full fill ?

I started 1 gr under book max up to .2 grains over with each bullet. I’m running long with a no binder aics so could go to a higher charge but I’m happy with the speeds so I stopped there.

Every charge shot 10 shot groups between .85 and 1.2”

Do keep in mind I’m new to this kind of shooting and the difference in the .85 and 1.1 groups is most likely me not the load

Did you check sd?

I put 3 through the chronograph a couple weeks ago, if I remember right in 5 shots there was a 9fps difference

Alfa brass, CCI small rifle magnum primers, 147 eld-m, 41.8 gr 6.5 Staball (max on Hodgdons website)

This is the last 10 shot group I did. Pretty good representation

Just put calipers on it, 1.2”
