**** that's smokin' fast for a creed!

I believe it though. With only 42 grains of rl-17 I chronoed the 143 eld-x at 2875.

I think I will give reloader 16 a try if I can find it in stock.

I know. At first I thought the Chrono was misreading. But after a couple hundred rounds the numbers keep showing in that range. I've confirmed the Mv shooting out to 1,125 meters.
The cases don't present pressure signs, but brass life is kinda short. I'm getting loose primer pockets by the 4th-5th reload.

Sounds Reasonable for 43gr of RL17 with a 26" Barrel.

With 48.5gr of RL26 I was able to get 5 shot average of 3006 with a Nosler 140 RDF, Nosler brass and BR2 out of my 6.5 Creed.
26" XCaliber Barrel 1-8 checked with Magnetospeed.
I am going to try a drop tube and see if 49gr of RL26 will work.
Of coarse I still have to see if I can get them to shoot well at that speed or as someone else stated they will just miss the target faster.

 

[North Idaho Hunter]

how the heck are you getting that much powder in there? at 42.5 grains I am at the bottom of the neck.

47.0 rl 26 gave me 2950 with 26 inch barrel

46 of imr 4955 will give you 2855, I have not tried it up more, weather reasons.
