6.5, 135gr Berger

Havard · Mar 26, 2019

I have both RL16 and H4350 and will be loading for a 6.5 Creedmoor. Thinking to use 210m Primers. Any loads suggested for the above?
Thanks

IV had the best results with RL17 and RL 16. This with the 130 Berger. Single digit E.S. and SD. Mid 2900 fps with 16. 100 fps less with 17. In a 24" Bergara.

This is the 130 over 43.5 of RL17. The right shot was the first. Clocked it left an shot the low hole. Then cut the group. Peterson brass, br4.

What brass? In adg/Peterson brass I'm running a 130 eld-m with 42 grains of rl-16 and a 140 eld-m at 41 grains of rl-16. The 140 load is 2863 fps SD of 4. Havent chronoed the 130s but im guessing 2950.

Peterson small primer. Im getting an average of 2956 with the 130 and RL 16. If any comments look sketchy, Im at work on my phone. Sausage fingers,lol.

Magnum primers in Hornady brass wanted to string. Cci 200 and h 4350 drills tiny little groups with 143 ELDX. Speed was sorry though. 2550 ave, double digit particulars.

I run the Berger 135gr bullet in a Lapua SP case with 47.0gr RE26 and a CCI 450 primer. Clocks 2,860 ft/sec in a 26" bbl. Accuracy is under .5moa at 400yds.
According to Berger's data, the max charge of RE26 is 48.9, IIRC. It's available on-line.

can't find any 26, or that's what I'd be using for sure!
I called Berger and got data for both 4350 and 16! Time to play...

You will be fine with one or both of those.

Don neglect the ELDX. That thing just plain shoots.

I have had good luck with 39.0 gr H4350 behind 140 gr. berger vld, fed 210 primers. mv 2644fps not super fast but accurate at 500yds

Rl 16 will get you more fps.
