Loading the 6.5CREEDMOOR whith diferents powders...
BERGEON replied to BERGEON's topic in Handloading
Yes Jay the RS 70 give more velocity with less presure in big loaded volume , I I'm looking for an efficient reload for Long Range so : heavy bullet and high velocity... I prefeer the 147 gr Hornady for a better BC than the LAPUA scenar 139 gr ! No I dont test this 139 gr with RS70... But in an another caliber the "lighter" bullet and RS70 work very well too , for example in .243 WIN ! So why no use the RS70 with the less expensive 6.5 mm 139 gr LAPUA Scenar ??? (For SMLE : I respect your choise with the EXELENT Lapua scenar 139 gr but for me in à Long Range shooting use , the New Hornady 153 gr A-TIP MATCH will be a good issue too…)https://www.hornady.com/bullets/rifle/6.5mm-264-153-gr-a-tip-match#!/ A+ Laurent. -

Hi Jay, Happy to read you, yes I tested the HORNADY 147 gr ELD MATCH (OAL = 2.90''!) in my RPR 6.5CM (24'' 5R Barrel) My magic load with RS 70 give me a good velocity = 2 841 mps with a very good acuracy, with LAPUA Case SRP +CCI 450 ( Picture, 8 Shots at 100 m ) My test with N560 give me a minor accuracy … About the 139 gr LAPUA the best powder between RS 60 and RS 62 the acuracy is better with the single base RS 62 (norma case LR) -

Hello Laurie, Yes à bolt with excessive space between the firing pin and firing pin hole on the bolt face will allow the primer to flow into that space...and the crater primer comes! In my RPR I measured my clearance between my firing pin and my pin hole (measured on a crater primer) I have 0.05 mm (.001968'') at clearance ! Is it to much ? Or is a right speace between between my firing pin and my pin hole? Enjoy to read you, Laurie! A+ Laurent. -

The CCI 450 are the same Cup thickness than the CCI 400, but the 450 work right with the high pressure! The metal cup is harder ??? In my RPR, with slow powder(RS70, 47.1 gr) and heavy bullet (147 gr ELD-M) in 6.5Creedmoor LAPUA Case I use CCI 450 look at this cratered primer : Do you think I'm in over pressure with this load ? https://www.primalrights.com/library/articles/understanding-pressure A+ Laurent. -

Hello I always think (perhaps is not true !) to Long Range Shooting the better results can made with an Heavier bullet (High BC) run with a high velocity for this we necessary to use a slow powder to produce high velocity without max presure. Well for my 6.5 Creedmoor for a LR load, I look about the HORNADY 147 gr ELD-Match (#26333)…In my RPR's barrel 1:8" After lookin those tow link : https://press.hornady.com/assets/site/hornady/files/load-data/6-5-creedmoor-147gr-data.pdf http://www.wwpowder.com/PDF/Burn%20Rates%20-%202015-2016.pdf I think I’ll choose the N560 to run this 147 gr! Is it a good idea , can I have your opinion about my nexts choices and tests ? A+ Laurent. PS : Where I find this Hornady 147 gr ELD-Match in UK? -

Hi Brillo, It's a pleasure to read you! It's a very good vellocity 2900 fps (884 m/s) for the association LAPUA Scenar 139gr + H4350 in 6.5Creedmoor ! Is it possible to know your load of H4350 and your lengh barrel? Because in my RPR (24'' 5R) I run my LAPUA Scenar 139 gr Moly at 2800 fps(853 m/s) and when I see Quick Load the presure is near the Pmax with 43.85 gr H4350...Be carrefull! A+ Laurent. -

Eurêka Laurie! I find this on Facebook page Vihtavuori : Vihtavuori Powders – better for barrels with decoppering agent! All Vihtavuori reloading powders produced today have an added decoppering agent. What does that mean for you, the reloader using our powders? Well, the decoppering agent reduces the amount of copper residue that forms within the rifle bore when shooting. Less copper residue translates as a cleaner rifle barrel. For the reloading target shooter, this means muzzle velocities with less deviation and increased accur...acy, especially when firing multiple groups. Shooting tests comparing the results of shots fired using a powder without the decoppering agent versus a powder with the decoppering agent show a notable difference in the amount of copper residue inside the rifle bore after only 50 shots (enclosed picture). 16/03/2017 http://www.vihtavuori.com/en/news/22 A+ Laurent. -
