6.5 creedmoor FPS in the real world

[bigbulls]

Think about building a new custom 6.5 creed with 24-26" barrel. Looking for real world velocity/FPS using 140-143 grain bullets. I see the manufacturers ammo numbers but wanting some numbers from the reloaders out there.

2700 is real world and plenty of energy for longrange hunting.



as long as you don't hit it in the ***

Just chronoed my 24" Creed AR-10 3 hrs ago. Ran Hornady factory 140 ELDM at 2700.

Superperformance powder and virgin brass handloads 2 gr under max at 2740 and RL17 1 under max at 2670 in virgin brass both with the 143 ELD-X.

Superperformance is looking great so far. Very tight group. Shot 10 into 3/4 off of a terrible bench in the rain.

Thanks guys was hoping to get close to 2800 but had no idea if it was possible.

Is that H-4350 stuff that powder that falls outa unicorns a$$es when they are eating sasquatch poop? Been looking 6 months, been to 30+ stores and some online. Superperformance it is for now.. If I ever see any H-4350 I will probably have a heart attack and die before I can load it, or maybe just go win the Powerball lol.

Anyone know how to track an IP address so I can find someone's house? I also need a dog that can sniff out powder and or some kind of electronics explosive detector maybe. Map of Plano TX would also help.

H4350 showed up on shelves here about a month to 6 weeks ago. I think we got this at Sportsman's Warehouse.

With 140 Bergers I run them at 2820 with H4831 and 2850 with RL17. I just ran some test loads with the 147 ELDs at 2834 but I have no idea how the primer pockets will hold up on that load even though I have no other signs of pressure.

RL 26 is a new Alliant powder that is giving screaming performance in .260 remington and other calibers. Using similar loads to h4350 people are getting an increase 150-200fps without any pressure signs in several calibers.

IF I get time I'll try some this week in the .260 with the Peregrine 125gr (monometal) and maybe try some with the 143gr Eld-X.
