[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2055385, member: 59647"] Finally found some time to start testing the 123 absolute hammer in my 6.5 creedmoor. I’ve had Peterson brass on order for several weeks, it still hasn’t arrived so I decided to get started with some once fired Hornady brass that I had on hand. Cooper Raptor 22” barrel with a silencerco harvester suppressor. It was about 35 degrees today, and wind 10-17 mph might have affected some of the groups a little, but did manage to get a couple good ones. COAL is 2.865 Powder is Varget, primers are CCI 200 large rifle. Started at 38 grains and worked up in 3 to 5 grain increments, in 3 shot groups. 38.3 grains averaged 2,706 FPS with an ES of 6, grouped 0.51 42.0 grains averaged 2,923 FPS with an ES of 25, grouped 0.60 Had a little ejector mark on two of three rounds at 42 grains, 12 o’clock in the photo below. I’m thinking that may be all I can get with a 22” barrel, thoughts on pushing up any farther? [ATTACH type="full"]234786[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
