[QUOTE="hwy1strat, post: 1618365, member: 95985"] My 6.5 creedmoor started pretty slow and it seemed to take about 150 rounds before it really sped up. I was shooting 140's around 2680 at first and now I'm pushing them right at 2800. Mine is a 26" barrel for what it's worth though. Anyway, I would expect you to get more velocity out of it as you shoot more through it. Normally, on a new rifle, I put about 100 rounds through it before I start load development so I don't have to worry about it speeding up while I'm trying to find the velocity node. But that is just my method. Maybe it doesn't matter. I'm sure you have heard that H4350 is a good powder. I have had great success with it and very good velocity out of it. Maybe worth trying if you can get a hold of it. I have never used N550 though [/QUOTE]
