[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1803631, member: 33159"] This is a 6.5 Creed, btw. I didn’t hit pressure but figured I was getting close since Steve told me to look for about 3000 fps, and I didn’t load a higher charge. It all grouped so well with each shot increasing in charge 0.5 gr that I just went with the last charge and loaded up 7 to see how it grouped and what the velocity numbers were. As you saw, I was pleasantly surprised. I used RL16 since I couldn’t find any Varget in stock. Now, just an fyi, but I’m getting around 3000 fps with RL26 and the 143 gr ELDX. And, I still haven’t hit pressure. That’s equivalent to my 6.5-284 Norma using Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
