I use a load of Reloader 19 under Speer 140 Gold Dots in one Creed. It works well at 2745. Any faster with that bullet and I got less accuracy.

[quote=p5200]I have 26 rounds of Hornady Non Typical 140 grain I could use but, I already ordered the Game Kings so I guess I'll go ahead and work a load up to try. I think the Mauser m18 I bought last year is a little finicky and picky about what it digests. When they first came out with the new Mauser they really praised it but, I think it was over rated the barrel still isn't broken in yet but I still think they went over board with their 5 round moa boast! Thanks Everyone! [/quo

I bought one in PRC. I can't say anything negative about mine..
Accuracy is outstanding. Other thn lack of load data I have. Factory 147's shoot tiny groups. I may need to work up a better load it likes plus, it's only got about 50 rounds through it. Using the Hornady Non Typical 140 grain, I sighted in last year and put 8 rounds in an inch or slightly over I may be expecting to much out of it by comparing the accuracy to the Tikka in 270 win. I had.

I've been using H4350 with good results, but when I find some StaBall 6.5 I'm going to give it a try. Loading data looks good.

I've got some 140 grn. Sierra Game King bullets and in the Sierra load data, it lists quite a few powders to choose from. I have the h4350, RL 19, Varget, and h4831sc. I'm looking for opinions on which one of the powders mentioned might be the best choice for Whitetail deer? Average shooting distances will probably, be inside 100 yds. Thanks!  Given the parameters above, deer at 100 yds or so, have you by chance considered the .30-30?
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I used to have one but, I gave it to my grandson my choices now are the 6.5 Creedmoor and Sierra Game king 140 gn. or .308 Winchester with 168 gn. Hornady A-Max.

Either one will do the job if you do your part.... WT's will never know, will never complain. It's pretty quiet down there in the freezer....  DF

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Anyone tried Staball 6.5 from Winchester? It was about the only thing left on the shelf at the LGS here.
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Don't be too disappointed if it doesn't turn out to be the latest, greatest hyper velocity wonder powder..... Try it and see how it does. I haven't yet, plan to one of these days. What I've read so far makes me less anxious to run, go check it out. DF

I tried StaBall in the Creed. It was good, but no better, or worse, than other powders-just another good option.
