BERGER 140GR HYBRIDS

[jonbearman]

I am experimenting with a 6.5 creedmoor and was wondering if anyone had luck with the Berger 140 Hybrid and I have H4350,H4831sc etc. Any advice cheerfully accepted.

Lapua srp brass
Cci 450
H4350 41.7 grains
2650 fps out of 22 inch 7.5 twist
Either very close to lands or 0.100 off was best for me. 2.90 or 2.80 for my reamer.

You have a magical combination using 4350 and 140 hybrids. As a buddy told me, “ you don’t choose 4350, it chooses you.” Should be easy to follow a traditional load work up that shoots tight.

 

[FeMan]

The 140 Hybrid and 6.5CM are one of the classic pairings!

It’s a hard to hear combo.

I shoot nothing but Berger 140 HT's in my 6.5 Tikka ... here's the data on my reference load for that rifle:

 

[Zero333]

I would like to see 4 targets with 5 shot groups on the same paper.

Wallet groups don't count.

 

[Zero333]

Since H-4350 is not as common nowadays, I would start with H-4831sc.
Velocity with H-4831sc is not the greatest but accuracy is very consistent.

 

[drop_point]

You got me, all the other groups were 10 moa.

I have a home built 6.5CM, and a descent load developed for Berger 140 VLD Target, 140 VLD Hunter, 140 Hybrid Target, 144 LR Hybrid Target and starting loads with the 153.5 LR Hybrid Target. I'm using H4350, Alpha SRP OCD brass, and GM205M or GM205MAR primers.

Yes sir it's all about the short cut
Depending on brass 44-45 grains generally gets it done.
One of these days I might actually try some H4350 in my Creedmoor.

I am jamming 140s and they shoot constantly below 0.5 moa for a 5-shot group.

>>>>>The SECRET.... 6.5 CAROLINA LOAD<<<<<<

The 6.5 CAROLINA LOAD is the load that was given to me from the Guy in Sportsman's Warehouse in Columbia, SC last week. He was just a customer, and I've been trying to find him to thank him, but I've had no success so far. But his load has helped me so much that I thought I would pass it on...

This powder is listed in Sierra Reloading Data.

H4831SC works great, but it is a little bit slower.

H4350 is just as available these days.

Blue Collars has a big stock.

If you cant get 140 Bergers and H4350 to shoot in a 6.5 Creed either the rifle has a problem or the shooter
has a problem.

They go together like peanutbutter and jelly.
