6.5 creedmoor FPS in the real world

[Bigstrap3]

Just bought h-4350 at Bruno's in Phoenix

 

[stx]

2730 fps with 42 grains of H4350 from 26" Bartlein with 140 VLDs.....I get 2800 with 43.5 grains but loose a little accuracy so I've settled on 42 grains where it shoots .25 MOA. H4350 is plentiful around here in local gun shops and shooting ranges.

2875 with the 143 eld-x and 42grains of rl-17 with a 26in Criterion barrel. I also have a good load with the 140 eld-m with 42.5 grains of rl-17 that I have not put over the chrono but I'll post my results

There isn't much to gain with barrel length over 24 inches in 6.5 CM

Check this out on the internet, 6.5 Creedmoor-Effect of Barrel Length on Velocity

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.

Wild,

Did you ever get a chance to try out RL 26 powder? Anybody tried out RL 26 in the 6.5 creedmoor?

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.

I just got in some RL26 and RL23 today. Hopefully I'll get a chance to give some loads with each a try over the weekend.

20" Barrel 1:8 Twist
Hornady 143 ELDX Boxed Ammo 2550 FPS
Barnes 140 VLDH 2560 FPS
Alco 130 RB AL VLD 2610 FPS

I can load hotter/faster but the accuracy suffers.
