[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1768116, member: 109378"] Dollar55, 2800 with 140 gr bullet in 6.5 Creedmoor is right up against the stops...you prolly wont get much more than that--more like 2650-2700 range in a lot of bullet/powder combo. That 140 Berger is a good bullet...I'd say run the ladder 'til you hit the node and the group tightens up and don't worry too much about max velocity or if you're currently getting good results but a sticky chamber, back down a bit and go with it. I get 2820 in .260 rem with 44 grs RL-19, Lapua Brass, CCI-BR-2 primers, seated about 020--I haven't measured but go to 2.82 COAL. In the 6.5 Creedmoor my son and friend get about 2700 using 41.5 gr RL-17...hotter than that starts to get sticky. [/QUOTE]
