[QUOTE="Trental, post: 605464, member: 33874"] Well, funny you should ask. :) I also posted this over on the 6.5 Creedmoor forum this afternoon. Went out today to run an OCW (Optimal Charge Weight) test on my LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor. Other than shooting one of my #3 loads at my #2 target all went well. Using factory Hornady brass (once fired) and 139gr Lapua bullets, and my charge weights ranged from 40.0gr to 42.0gr of H4350 in 0.4gr increments (1% steps). I am showing no pressure signs at 42.0gr so I am debating on whether or not to explore around that weight. I plan on using this gun for 300, 600 and 1000 yard competition so the extra ummph might come in handy if it is also accurate. There SEEMS to be a node at around 40.8gr to 41.2gr. It is possible that another node is there at around 42.0gr and I may load some up from 41.8gr to 42.4gr in 0.2gr increments and see what it looks like. I'm going to do the same for the other node as well. Couldn't get my chronograph working today. I think the sun was futzing with it. 41.5gr clocks in at 2807fps with this gun.
