[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1823582, member: 103919"] Yes that's a 6.5 creedmoor. I could push it faster, but that was where the accuracy node came in. I'm using RL 16 for the powder and Lapua SRP brass with a CCI mil-spec primer. The 143 load is 2805 with Hornady brass and CCI BR LR primer, but with the same powder and charge. Some folks are using RL 26 to push 147s in the upper 28's and into the 29's from a Creedmoor. I tried RL26 in my 6.5 Addiction. The speed was 75-100fps faster than other powders, but only got acceptable accuracy and in the summer it seemed to be too temperamental, so I didn't pursue it in the Creedmoor. Now I have 3 and a part pounds waiting for a use. The rifle is a Bergara BMP with a 24" barrel, but we put it in a KRG Bravo, added a Timney trigger (only a small improvement because of the heavy firing pin spring used by Bergara, but had it from a prize table and didn't need it for my rifles), and had the firing pin bushed by Gre-tan. The 123 loads were with my wife's 6.5x47 that my son used before we got the Creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
