[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2027660, member: 10429"] I just loaded 15 rounds (6.5 creed), 5 of superformance, 5 of 100V, and 5 of 6.5 starball. All are running the same bullets, same seating depth but different charge weight on the superformance. I may get out thanksgiving week after working the front half of the week to test these loads out. Since this will be just 100 or 200 yrd grouping test I'm not to worried about the velocity at this point; but I'm about at the 3/4 point of the book load data so I still have a little room to play. I could shoot with the magneto speed but I think it effects the groups. My end goal for this gun is trying to get the 142 ABLR bullets to shoot like the Berger do are at least get them to shoot 1/2MOA. I may be asking for to much, not sure. To this day I have never had the best of luck with them but I'll keep trying. At some point I'm going to do a seating depth test on this 6.5 creed with the ABLR's but right now I'm just messing around with a couple of powders to see the difference. I'm using once fired HSM brass don't know actually which company makes the stuff but it has a star on it, its been resized, trimmed, and cleaned. All primers are BR-2 large rifle primers. I currently think the superformance may offer the highest velocity but the other 2 looked pretty good also at the book data. I've shot a lot of the 100V.
