The Bergers continue to impress. These average roughly 2755 FPS. Not sure about velocity changes day to day. These were recorded with a Labradar and depending on where it picks the bullet up it could vary. Seems plausible anyway. Will take it out to 500yds this weekend. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/78484.jpg)

That's a great spot to be with that bullet.... I run Bergers at about 2800 MV and they impress way down the impact velocity window...

Reloader 26 is like pixie dust in the 6.5 CM... 48 grs with 140 Amax was ~2900 in a 24” barrel. 1/2” 3 shot group.... no pressure signs... ![[Linked Image]](https://s20.postimg.cc/kd0823eu1/E8_C036_A3-_E6_F9-484_A-9032-713_D7_D653740.jpg)

What primer/case on that 2,900fps load? I've got some 143's and a jug of R26 to start playing with.
Now with even more aplomb

Hornady brass with CCI200. Don’t try Federal brass as it’s short on capacity.

First time loading the 6.5 CM, used some Big game with 120 Bt and achieved 1" groups. Next was H4350 and dang that was easy. I don't load for the highest velocity and accuracy, just trying to find a good hunting load.
Lapua brass
45 H4350
120 gr BT
CCI 450
.5 grp
HMM-161, HMM-364

I didn't bother to work a load for the new Creed. Just used the same stuff I shoot in my others..... 42.5 H4350, CCI 200's and 140 amaxs. ![[Linked Image]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/922/MOnQaa.jpg)

My Creedmoor likes 40.1gr Varget behind the 130gr Berger AR Hybrid in Hornady brass. About 2900fps from my 24" Bartlein. Warm load so work up carefully. These are 10 shot groups.John ![[Linked Image]](https://imageshack.com/a/img924/3466/UlzC1X.jpg)

147ELD, H4350/IMR4451, Tula primers and decent brass (I've been very happy with Alpha) have been gold in a handful of 6.5CMs now. Barretts, RAR-Ps, Tikkas. Great accuracy, low ES/SD, and very consistent LR performance. Super easy load development, I'm a big fan. 
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

Moly’d 143 Hornady ELDX. 41.3 grains of RL 17. Federal 210M primer Hornady Brass. Savage Axis. 1:8 22” SWFA 6X MOA Quad One hole five shots at 100 yards.
RL17 meters like ball powder and with this result I will be shooting this combo for a long time.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

Found a promising load.
Savage axis 2
IMR 4350- 41.5grs
Fed 210
Hornady brass
140gr hornady spire point (regular ol Flat base interlock)
Seated at 2.680
5 shot group avg .644 group.
Little more work, up the charge to 41.7 and 41.9 also going to try out the Eld-x as well and 140 accubonds along with the 140 hornady interlocks. I found that same load with 143 ELDX’s. Fed 210M primers though.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

John was this not a HOT load for you?? 42.4 in Alpha Brass was too hot in my 20" Proof. maybe the Hornady Brass is more forgiving?
