[QUOTE="Rob01, post: 2488239, member: 2157"] Depends on the bullet but the 140 ELDs won't have a problem. I have shot them to a mile in my 6.5 Creedmoor. H4350 and the 140 ELDs is a good combination. I wouldn't use 140 SMKs as they have a terrible BC for a 140 bullet. You could give some Bergers or 142 SMKs a try also. The 147 ELDs work well too. Been shooting the 6.5 Creedmoor probably longer than anyone here and it's a really good cartridge. Have used it in a lot of matches and just range days and even with factory ammo mine have shot well. Your set up is a good one and should serve you well. I run 28" barrels on my Creedmoors for matches but 26" will give you plenty of velocity. As for the stock, check out the Manners. I use Manners with mini chassis and they are bolt in and go. Lots of different styles to choose from. My recent match Creedmoor is in a Manners T2A and I like it a lot. [/QUOTE]
