6.5 CM COAL HELP

[NW Hunter]

You shouldn't concern yourself with any book values, nor what others end up with.
Instead, you should do full seating testing (like Berger's recommended) to find best accuracy and go with that.

Mike really is right!
I tried forcing my Creedmoor to like 15 to 30 off the lands.
Groups sucked!
After giving myself a talkin to, 80 and 100 off the lands shined.
There are no shortcuts, no matter what you hear!

600 yard group and 100 yard group 143 grain ELD-X H4350 41.5 grains 2684 FPS ES22 SD 7

Loaded .020 off the lands

General RE LEE:
Looks almost identical to my results - same load to the "T" except mine averages c.2,750 fps. Good Recipe.

I run the 140 Berger VLD hunting bullet at 2902 with 46.5 grains of RL26. SD in single digits. Suppressed 24" barrel, with SRP Peterson brass and CCI SRP mag primer. X-ray accurate. Running about .090 off the lands.
