[QUOTE="okie man, post: 2736380, member: 75071"] The Rifle, The rifle I’m going to be building this load for is a stock Christensen Mesa Long Range in 6.5 creed. The trigger has been adjusted to as low as the factory trigger tech trigger goes. The scope is a vortex hst 4x16x44. Not the best optics but it’s just what I have on it for now. The scope is mounted in Warne rings on a egw 20 moa rail bedded to the action. The rifle has had about 400 rounds through it. The rifle has been very easy to work with. Accuracy has come easy with several loads. The biggest surprise was a load I put together just to have fire sized cases to work with. Cheap Hornady bulk 140 gr bthp at 2.800 with 41.0 gr of H-4350 and standard federal lrp’s in starline brass . This load will drop 3/4-1/2 moa groups all day long at 550 yards. Not bad seeing I just wanted to get some cases firesized and not burn up expensive components. The current load I currently use is extremely accurate. Hitting standard clay targets at 700 yards can be stupid easy at times. I’m sure an optics upgrade would put the rifle into the sub 1/2 moa class . 41.5 grains of H-4350 in starline lrp brass, fed gmm primer and 140 eld-m set at 2.850. My magnetospeed says i’m running 2780fps . Some might ask why I would even waste time , let alone burn up valuable components like RL-26 , on a rifle/load combo I already have? I have enough stuff to keep this combo supplied for a long time, so it’s not like I’m worried I’ll run out. It’s a rifle I mainly shoot for fun. It weighs 13.5 pounds field ready so I don’t take it hunting much. It’s not like the velocity gained is needed for more energy. I think it’s why all of use do this, the need to tinker and improve something you already have.…. [/QUOTE]
