6.5CM and the 130 ELDm

[Travis Roberts]

anybody played with this combo. I picked up 3 lbs of H4350 already and wanna try them. I only see it paying off if I can push them faster than 2900. Just looking to see if anyone has had any luck with this bullet.

I shoot the 130 VLD`s out of a 6.5x47L with H4350 at 3000 fps and I like the way it shoots with the 130`s better than how it does with 140`s ,,it shoots pretty danged good with the 123 Scenars also,

My 6.5 Creedmoor with RL26 shoots 130 ELD-M Out of my 26" barrel @ 3050 fps with good accuracy and low SD my 24" does 3030 with the same bullet with good accuracy and low SD.
Both will push them faster but not with in a good node.

I'm really glad to hear that, I'm gearing up to start loading for my rig, and R26, is one of my choices, 130 class bullets, and I just have this thing about a projectile exiting at or over 3000 fps. It seems like the 26 is the way to go, how is your accuracy.
Thanks for feedback.

Just started trying the 130 ELD-M this morning. Only tried one five shot group and looks promising. Started low with 41.5 gr.H4350 seating touching lands which resulted in a one inch group at 200 yards.

I use HBN as well with mine but It shoots 10 into .428 MOA at 100 yards at 3050 fps, I have groups of 5 that are down to almost .25" at 100 as well if I do my part, some days not so well.
My 130 ELD-M loads are what I use when working up other loads with different bullets and I just can't seem to find a good load. I will begin thinking it is me, like what ta heck is wrong, then I shoot some of my known 130 loads and find it is not me or the rifle it is the load.

I am working on some Nosler 140 CC bullets right now and I can't seem to get a good load with RL26, but still gave to check for a higher node as well as a lower node. I will also be doing an OCW with H4350 for that Bullet as well, my plan for it is to shoot at 200 yard Egg Shoots with it so I don't need the extra velocity that I get with RL26.
I believe that different powders have different OCW for the bullet you are using and my theory is you need OCW and OBT to land the same to get the best Accuracy out of it. For some reason the Nosler 140 CC are not coming together for me with the RL26 but we will see, I bought a thousand of them to test.

I use RL-17 with the Berger 130 VLD Target and getting 2925 out of a 26 in bbl in my 6.5CM

Has anybody had any luck with 8208?
I used to shoot it in my 308, and 22.250, and it was incredibly accurate, low es, sd, and fast, cleaned great. Just haven't heard much feedback on the creeds.
Thoughts?

That's one powder, I've tried before, as well, it was impressive in everything I tried it in. It even had its own report, when I fired it. Just had its own sound.
Temp sensitive though. That's one I'd like to give whirl to.

Any more results?

I know a few guys using 130 gr in 6.5 cm and 6.5x47, but they use Norma Golden Target and JLK 130’s. Both have a great reputation it seems. Velocities are around 2900 as I have heard. That Norma is same one used in Prime 6.5 creedmoor ammo, and its a great projectile. I have shot two cases of it to harvest the brass. JLKs are known for their consistency.

130 berger hunting and 130 AccuBond are the bullets I shoot out of my 6.5x47. Berger is doing 3000 fps accubond is at 2900 fps. I think the 130 class bullets are nice in the x47. With the Creed having more case capacity maybe the 140-147 gr might be better? Both bullets I listed have done very well on deer this past year.

I’m going to play around with these 130s. I have H4350 and 2000-MR (use in my 308) on hand that I can try. Also thinking about maybe trying some Varget with these 130s. Sounds like H4350 is a great powder for the 140s but maybe not the best suited for lighter class bullets? Fair assessment or thinking to hard about this? Lol

Travis, I have been moving up in powder charges. This morning tried 42.5 and 42.8 H4350 and still grouping an inch with the lower weight and only a couple tenths larger with the 42.8 loads. I haven't played with seating depth yet but will once group sizes are as good as I can get.
