124gr hammer hunters and speed

[snox801]

what's everyone getting for FPS out of the hammer hunters 124hr 6.5 out of the creed. I've got up to 41gr of varget and not seeing any pressure and I'm getting Greta groups out of all my load charge. I stopped at 41gr and I always shoot for best group under max pressure. Then get speed to keep me from chasing it. Or settling for a slightly larger group for more speed.
I'm seeing no pressure at all but thinking 41 is pretty high. 22" tube. Just curios what other shave been able to squeeze out.

Just curious what are you getting for speed with your 41 grains of Varget in your 22" barrel?

I have not strapped on the magneto speed to those yet. Shot great groups all the way to that charge. So I'm gonna load up a few more and check speed and Es. At 38.8 gr I get 2880fps that was the round i tested first but I knew it was soft

I'm basically looking for what others have gotten. I have a feeling I may be over pressure just not showing anything. So I'd like to double check my speeds which is another way to check your pressure. Just trying to cover all bases. I'd be happy with anything over 3000fps. But of course 3100 would be even better.

I'm running 42gr varget with the 110hh
Have you asked Steve what he considers max for 6.5cm/varget/124hh? He told me 38-42gr for the 110

I'm running 39.6gr of Varget in a Lapua SRP case with a CCI 450 primer. Velocity is 2,890 ft/sec in my 26" Browning bbl.
41gr was unacceptably hot but hit 3,000 ft/sec.

Just picked up some 124 HH for my 6.5x47. Hoping to get close to 3000 fps out of my 25" Benchmark. I'm currently getting 2880 fps with a 130 Accubond and H4350. Good looking bullets. Anxious to try them.

22" tube with 46.0 - 46.2gr RL26 produced 2965-2975 average.

I topped 3000 with RL26 but it was too hot for my liking in a hunting gun.

superformance topped 3000 easily at 46.2gr but accuracy wasn't there compared to the RL26
