I got 6.5 Creed load data from a Berger tech with their new 156 EOL. They aren't publishing data yet, but will give it out over the phone.
With RL-26, their top load is 2,800 out of the Creed.
At that speed, the heavier Berger shouldn't frag like a lighter, faster one.
I have some headed my way to try. Powder Valley has them in stock.
6.5-284 at 2,900 with RL-26. Want to try that load in my 26" Krieger Pre-64.
6.5 Nosler at 3,100 with Vv n-570, 3K with RL-50, RL-33, US 869 and H-50 BMG.. Also 3K with Vv 20N29, except I don't have that one.
156 EOL at 3K should be a good LR load.
Interesting.

Yes, quite interesting! I'd hunt everything I hunt with that bullet in a CM. But then I have never had Bergers frag badly at 2700 or 2800 MV. I'll likely have to try it some day, and with R-26.
