Do you know your velocity with 41-41.5 grains of H4350?
I'll run some over the Chrony Sunday to verify. Hornady advertises 2700 FPS for the 143 Precision Hunter load but I'm not sure if they use H4350 in that load like they do in the 140 Match loads. I tried Sierras 41.9 gr max load with the 142's and had ejector marks so I haven't gone over 41.5 with the others without my Chrony set up.
I'm getting 2630-2650 with 41 and 41.5 gr H4350 from my Ruger Predator. I can't complain about accuracy, but if i can get the same or better accuracy with Hunter and break 2700 fps I'd be interested. I've got some Hunter powder. Gonna give it a try.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
If you want more velocity than H4350, give RL16 a try. Its very temp stable and 42.5gr under 140gr Accubonds gives me 2,760 fps out of my 22" Montana, 43.5gr under 127gr LRXs are good for 2,920. Accuracy has been very good.

I got my hmr 6.5 creed there on the moving sale. Just went to get powder an seen it never paid much attention to them I just picked it up an then never put it down!!
I never heard of the fugkin' things but bought one in the .308 regardless.
Shoots lights out. Huge bang for the buck IMO.

Looked at one of those in 30-06 today. Never even heard of that brand before now. Had a nice trigger, and the price look pretty darn hard to beat. May have to try one of 'em.

Not sure on the model of Bergara I saw today, but it had a synthetic green colored stock,and was priced a bit under 600 bucks? I've been thinking of trying a 6.5CM, and a Bergara sounds like it could be a good option?
EDIT: from the Bergara webpage, the model I saw today is the "B-14" which is indeed available in 6.5 CM.
