[QUOTE="Winkfish, post: 1856811, member: 98068"] Good morning, I had a load worked up for my hunting rifle with ADG brass and 135gr Berger classic hunters at a COAL of 2.850" and it works great. Now my daughter wants to do some PRS matches and I will be doing them with her. Now given that I may have to take multiple shots I need a magazine fed system to accommodate more than three rounds. The rifle is a Howa 1500 in a Bell and Carlson stock, 6.5 creedmoor, 24" barrel and I am shooting with a silencerco Omega. Howa makes a detachable magazine which I bought. The issue is tat It will not accept my rounds as they are now too long. To get by I am going to reduce the COAL to 2.800 and this length will feed just fine. Here are the new Parameters: Brass: Hornady Primer: CCI large rifle Powder: H4350 Bullet: 135gr berger classic hunter COAL: 2.800" I shot 3 shot groups from prone this morning with a rear support at 100 yards. Powder charge: Speed: 41.6 2640, 2624, 2645 41.8 2699, 2672, 2656 42.0 2656, 2661, 2661 42.2 2688, 2673, 2688 42.4 2704, 2721, 2726 42.6 2749, 2710, 2715 42.8 2760, 2737, 2732, Third shot was pulled left by me 43.0 2732, 2726, 2726 43.2 2754, 2743, 2726 First shot was high and shots 2 and 3 were as expected 43.4 2760, 2772, 2801 First show was high and shots 2 and 3 were as expected. [ATTACH type="full" alt="page1.jpg"]182511[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="page2.jpg"]182512[/ATTACH] It looks like 42.2 and 42.6 are pretty good? Are these velocities low or should I add a little more and see where it goes? Thank you for your input [/QUOTE]
