Bone stock 6.5 Creedmoor 12 LRP shoots .3 MOA - amazing

[tl0311]

Has anyone tried any loads with accurate's Magpro? I pulled this off their sight and looks pretty spectacular as far as speeds. Am considering using to work up some loads after im done with the barrel brake in on my new M12 LRP. any thought?

Wow. 3050?

You may not get many loadings out of your Hornady brass. I toasted some trying to push 140VLD's. I get 2850 easy with the Hornady box load of 41.5gr H4350. Ive got some pretty loose pockets after 5 firings, but nothing coming out the back yet, so I'll give them a couple more firings to see how it goes.

I'm forming some Lapua 22-250 brass tonight, I may donate 10 of those to see what brass life is like when pushed.

with that kind of speed though I think I would be willing to buy some extra brass if I get 5 out of each piece of brass thats great, they call for win primers, but Id be loading with cci bench rest, anything that says winchester on it and doesnt costs over $60 scares me, poor quality and inconsistancy seem to be go hand in hand with a lot of winchester products now, exept their rifles.
all together too many choices with this gun, was originally looking at Swifts 130 gr scirocco II, cause it boasts a .571 BC. but that seems far fetched,would havebeen the best of both worlds for me as I would have liked to been able to hunt with the M12(yes I'm aware of how heavy it is lol). pretty much settled on the Hornady amax or BTHP

Good round and good shooting--I plan on adding more rifles in the 6mm family....
I know, I know, I will purchase any rifle that's a good buy, and even the definition of good buy is relative:rofl:

are you speaking of the swift bullet? if you have experiance with it, i could suer use some more insight?

[tl0311]

well I decided to go with the berger vld hunting and magpro for the powder, we'll see how it works out. going to use the Hornady OAL gage to get the seating depth dialed, berger says to have the bullet, just touching the lands. wonder how that will compare to Accurate's COL of 3.325.

[That1guy]

The base to ogive at the lands was 2.209 for me. Hornady comparator measurement was 3.227 touching the lands

[tl0311]

cool thanks ill give that a shot

[tl0311]

Not trying to hijack the the thread but update, broke in the barrel the other day, tightest bolt to close and open ive ever felt. Used hornady match 140 amax. The hornady o.a.l gauge measured 2.917 with the berger 140 vld. Startings loads tonight

[tl0311]

Something is wrong here at 3.2245 the bullet is outside the case

[tl0311]

Figured it out. The way accurate powders site reads .
was confusing me. The loads and COL are for 264 win mag Bbe advised do not use any.of the loads I posted for 6.5 creedmoor.,my apologies

[M.O.A.]

i would recheck the headspaceing
