Was reading my Oct. '22 Handloader mag and really liked JB's article, "The 6.5 Creedmoor Again". I know that subject has been beat to death, but JB does a great job, as usual.
A couple of his loads caught my eye. The 140 VLD Hunting over 46 gr. RL-26 at 2,835 fps, posting .54" at a hundred. Now, that one has promise, gonna load some of those. Another was the 127 LRX over 44 gr. StaBALL, shot a .99" group. He was shooting a Vanguard First Lite, which seemed to perform very well. There were a number of great loads, those two tweaked my interest.
Thanks John, for your attention to detail and excellent articles.

Not surprised on the RL-26 load. I swap in the 143 ELD-X there and it's been accurate in a couple of rifles while making good velocity in 18-21" barrels. Wish I'd picked up some StaBall before the latest component shortage.
