Browning Hells Canyon Speed Long Range 6.5 Creedmoor with M.B. vx3i-cds 6.5x 20

Berger Hybrid 140 gr. Starline brass Winchester primer.(because I had them) I am thinking H4350 or IMR4350. Does anyone have a better idea? New rifle not yet fired.

H4350 is a good powder for the 6.5 CM with 140s

H4831SC accurate as hell!
Rl26 if you can find it or have available.

I went with the H4831sc and CCI BR2 primers. I will find out this weekend how it shoots.

You'll be impressed. It shoots well for me but a little slower than the H4350

That load clocked 2720 fps with a 22" barrel
Hell's canyon has a 26 I believe it would put him in the 2800 fps range.

H4350 seems to be king of the 6 and 6.5 creedmoor. There are others thag work well also. I would look into the 14 and 143 ELD-m/x depending on if you want to hunt or shoot paper. I know my 6.5 shoot them both great with h4350.

I cannot lie I watched h4350 clock 2950
today. 41.5gr 31" barrel

Anytime you add that kind of length to a barrel, typically you'll get excellent velocity with any powders. The H4350 gives impressive velocity even with a 22" barrel.

Berger Hybrid target 140gr. H4831sc 41.5gr. CCI BR2 Starline brass 2.78 oal. less than 1 inch every group at 100 yds. I would pictures but I am to stupid to figure out how. Chronograph is not available until next week. I think it will be the best rifle I have ever owned.

Good accuracy but you aren’t going to be happy with the velocity with that charge.

I was gonna suggest giving it a lil more fuel.

Check out the secret Carolina load on this board.

41.5 seemed like a good place to start. After I get the chronograph going I will increase to about 44 gr. Very impressed with the rifle and the scope so far. If I go to a 120 or 130 gr. I would use H4350.

Don’t overlook Varget with anything up to 130gr. My match gun’s best load is Varget pushing the 130gr AR Hybrid to 2910.

2485 fps with 41.5 H4831sc. I am loading 43.5 gr. today and if it stops raining I will try this afternoon.

 

[dogmeat]

I am using 2.80 oal. What would the max oal be? My Hornady oal gauge is showing 2.94 pushed all the way in but makes contact at 2.70. I have a x bolt 300 win mag that stops at 3.55 only

 

[dogmeat]

With 44 grains of H4831SC I am getting 2,685 fps. with 140 gr. Berger Hybrids. I dont think I should go any more powder. Maybe try H4350 to get 2,700 fps.

 

[garandman]

I run 41.4 or 5 gr H4350 pushing 140gr Berger Hybrids 2750 fps. No signs of pressure.

Recently figgered out Ive been setting parallax wrong, so I'll retest.
