[QUOTE="daniel brothers, post: 1778133, member: 23208"] That Guy told me that he was shooting small primers in Lapua brass, but he didn't say what caliber or primer brand. He was shooting 140 gr bullets (forgot which bullet )for that one hole 3 shot group target that he had in his wallet that he showed me, but he said that he also buys the bulk blems 140 at Midway that still shoot in the 1's and 2's regularly. He said the secret powder was 44.3 grs of H4831SC. I started scratching my head a little bit because of not hearing this used by many in a 6.5 caliber. When I got home I loaded up 3 rounds of each for my Creedmoor... 43.3, 43.7, 44.0, and 44.3 with 140 Hornady SST bullets, Fed 210 primers, seated to 2.800 oval. The first 3 loads were okay, but when I hit the 44.3, they all touched together like a clover leaf... a small clover leaf. I had 4 rnds of that one and it became a flyer, which was 1/4" to the left of the leaf hole. I thought it was a fluke so I load up some more and they shot the same little hole cluster. I even tried a few more grains of powder and even changed seating depth for testing, but keep coming back to the 44.3 of H4831SC and 2.800. It's not tuned to make a bug hole yet, but it might in the near future... after all... what can I expect from a Cabela's Savage 12 FV 6.5 Creedmoor...LOL. Now they might even let me be in the Secret Creedmoor Club. Mind you now... I have NOT tried H4350 yet, but i have been through nearly 2 lbs of R17 and have NOT even come close to consistent groups like this. Please let me know how [B]The 6.5 Carolina Load[/B] works for you.... thanks...Dan PS... not sure what the speed is yet because my chrony is in the shop... and the speed doesn't matter right now anyways, since I feel like I could shoot flies at 100 yds.
