SMLE Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hi Folks, Interested in anyone’s experiences good or bad in N540 for 6.5 Creedmoor, in particular the Hornady 140g ELD Match bullet. I find myself in possession of both and just thinking about working up a load for up to 1000 yards, 24” barrel, 1 in 8 twist. I reckon 32 g to 35g might be a goer, any thoughts? I’ve no experience of this powder but have been persuaded by a colleague to get hold of it for this bullet although published data seems pretty scarce.

SMLE Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I’m aware by the way of potential impact on barrel life and throat erosion, but presumably that’s only where MV is at the high end? Mid level loads presumably have a lesser effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 In general that’s true. However, both mid and high end loads can affect throat erosion. What matters more is how aggressive you are in putting them down the barrel. If you are allowing the barrel to cool between shots then it’s much less of an issue than if you fire a rapid string of shots so it depends on what you do as much as the powder you choose.
