Kind of like the guy that claims to have killed a “ton of elk”. Some guys say they have good loads. Others, like you, prove you do...

Put up or shut up. Ive killed plenty of elk you dumb fu ck. You add nothing to any thread here. When you get a creedmoor and can add something of value, post your results. Otherwise, quit trying to suck my dick and play with my balls.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I stopped on the way out yesterday and picked up a 6.5. Shot 8 in the dirt and got velocity figured out, wound up at 43.3 of H4350 for 2840. Played around with the 130 Accubond and settled at .070 off the lands. I know, in all your wisdom you think they’re Accubombs, even though you’ve killed nothing but paper with them. I’d suggest maybe not using construction paper and sticking with typing paper. Not a single 10 shot group was fired, and it still worked out. I was scared to death I was going to lose the bolt handle, have an accidental discharge or have an extraction problem that your always flapping your gums about. Surely you have some dead sh it via the 6.5 to show? (That made me LOl) Keep trying to be relevant, and i’ll keep laughing at your dumbass. See, pics are easy, even if your by yourself. Your move Buttercup.

Trying to narrow down component inventory so worked up a load for my hunting rig with some of what I had left. Load data is on the pic. OAL is actually base to ogive but includes Sinclair comparator so subtract 1”. This is a ten shot group. John Update to add velocity. Took this load out to 900 yards and calculated the velocity with Ballistic AE. It worked out to 2883 and the group was stupid good, about 5” horizontal, and less than 2” vertical. John

Updated 143 gr. ELD-X load after many 5-shot groups to verify. There have been others who've also posted this powder charge:
Bullet: Hornady 143 gr. ELD-X Brass: Hornady Primer Federal 210M Powder: H4350 41.7 gr. CBTO: 2.038" COAL: 2.797" - 2.801"
Though taken several cow elk with this load (out of necessity) this is going to be my pronghorn getter next season.
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

I know 4350 works, but I only have 2 pounds left. Anyone shooting Superformance powder. I plan on running it with a 139 Scenar.
Why isn’t this a sticky? Yes, I have been running the 139 Scenar with Superformance and been very happy with it. Found no data so mined a bunch of other pressure-tested 139-143 grain Superformance data, picked a smart starting load, and worked up. I settled on 45.9gr/Superformance under the 139 Scenar, Lapua SR cases with Fed 205M. (just got some CCI 41 and will try those too.) Averages 0.6 MOA at 2818 FPS with single digit SD. I am .020" off the lands in my 22" Christensen Mesa, but .005" off shot almost as well. I have heard these bullets aren't fussy about seating depth. I overlaid multiple groups I fired during the workup ladder from 45 to 46 grains and found it put all 21 shots into 1.18", so it is relatively insensitive to charge weight too, at least as far as POI is concerned, in that charge weight range. Good luck with it. Rex

Saw the other post about killing "a ton of elk." When you think about it, that doesn't take too many elk. It's real hard to get elk tags where I live but even I have killed "a ton of elk." That means three big bulls and a good sized cow. Heck, I probably had my "ton" before the cow, which was the most recent. I have certainly also killed a ton of deer and a ton of antelope. Ate 'em all so it's a wonder I'm not any fatter.
Just funnin' around. Y'all play nice, Rex

Finally had a chance to start loading for my Barrett Fieldcraft.
147 ELD-M, 47.8 RL26, BR2, 2760 FPS, .48” group.
139 Scenar, 43.7 RL16, BR2, 2742 FPS, .6”
140 Berger VLD Hunting, 43.7 RL16, BR2, 2766, .53”
127 Barnes LRX, 44.8 RL16, BR2, 2943 FPS, .56”
I wouldn’t hesitate to use any of these for hunting. For LR plinking that 147 would be the ticket. I still to play with seating depths and possibly refine the powder charges. Hi prm, I also have a Barrett Fieldcraft in 6.5, and I'm interested in shooting the LRX, is yours the 22" barrel version?

Rifle: CA Mesa w/22" barrel Bullet: 140 gr. Nosler Partition Powder: H4350 41.7 gr. 5 shot MV avg: 2,647 fps Brass: Hornady Primer Federal 210M CBTO: 2.152" COAL: ~2.790" 5 shot group avg: 0.674" Likely can tighten the group ever so slightly, but as a hunting bullet, why?

May have posted this already…?😁
Tikka T3X Superlight 6.5 CM w/24.3” barrel.
130gr Nosler Accubond Reloader 26 49.5gr Hornady Brass Fed. 210 match primer OAL = 2.780”
Vel. = 2960 fps (chronographed)
Accur. = 3 shots @ 100yd….0.630”
Brass looks good…no high pressure signs(No cratered/flat primers and no shiny spots on case head)
This load is very consistent. Has been replicated several times on different days at the range at temps between 40 - 85 deg.
I’m a hunter not a competition shooter. 3 shots into nearly 1/2”….that’ll do just fine for my needs.😁

Was raining today, so the ProChrono didn't get brought out, but I think the RL26 may indeed be the ticket. Hornady brass, CCI200, and the 143ELD-X over 47 and 48 grains both shot around a half inch at 100yds. No pressure signs at 70F. Bergara HMR. 2.855" OAL. Not bad for a used factory rifle and cheap brass.
Got around to shooting this load over a Magnetospeed today. Makes 2,760fps from a 21" barrel with 47.5gr. It'll be what I hunt this year in that Bergara. Shot it in the 70F morning with chrono and then the kids shot it later at 90F+ with no pressure/accuracy problems, so it's apparently not at redline. This continues to be a pretty good load. It's been a "plug and play" in an 18" Sig Cross, as I had 40-50 rounds left after I sold the Bergara. Should be making about 2,650 in the Cross. I will say that the 143 ELD-X isn't what I'd call a "Penetrator", but that's pretty obvious, given the design and intent of the bullet. Shot this boar last night at 70-80 yards, quartering-to, just in front of the shoulder. Should have exited behind the offside shoulder, but didn't punch through the shield. No busted shoulders either. 180-200lbs, give or take. 40yd run.
Now with even more aplomb

The 143 eldx is a hunting bullet It PENETRATES the vitals of big game just fine It's not made to punch through bone &Hornady will tell you that
