[QUOTE="mountaincarver, post: 1243147, member: 87809"] I have a Browning Eclipse Target 6.5 creedmoor with a 28 inch barrel and have load tested to find that when shooting 140 grain ELD's or 143 ELDX's it likes about 42.6 grains of H4350 or 41.5 grains of RL17. these loads run the bullet at 2840 fps pretty consistently. After surfing the internet and seeing what some others are shooting, it seems many are finding their load to be very similar. it seems people are getting the same velocity with much shorter barrels, which makes me wonder if the extra barrel length is a waist of time and just extra weight with no benefit. I have to wonder if something like 4831 would shine in this instance. Not sure. Has anyone played with some slower powder and found better results in speed and accuracy with long barreled creedmoors? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
