[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1960458, member: 21524"] Just to follow up. I used the Satterlee method this week on a 6.5 Creed, 1:8 twist with a Rock Creek cut rifled barrel, shooting the 123 SMK, in a SAMMI spec chamber. I’ve never shot this bullet before in any of my 6.5s. Started at 40 thou off because that seemed like that was the longest I could load it without running out of bullet in the neck of the case. 3 thou neck tension. H4350. Alpha brass. Shot ladders over my Magnetospeed. Found loads at 41.4, 42.4, and 43gr. For a couple long winded reasons I won’t get into, I had to violate some major “Harmonic” principles and had to switch stocks, and took off my suppressor prior to shooting confirmatory loads. I shot those loads today and shot a confirmatory Audette ladder over a buddies Target cam at 500. Nodes were the same. All shot 1/3 MOA at 100, 300, 500. 41.4gr will likely shoot in the .2s. I was a little shaky and there was a moderate amount of mirage. [/QUOTE]
