"MOST POWDERS ARE AROUND 50 FPS / GRAIN?" Where'd you come up with that number? Not remotely accurate information!

My CM just loves 42.4 gr of H4350 and ELD-X 143 gr bullets. Four shot into .392" at 200 yds with a "gremlin" flyer opening the group up to .9". Still I'll take 1/2 MOA anyday. If that flyer is omitted that's <1/4 MOA!
Bomberodevil: how in the world are you getting 2750 with a 140 gr bullet and 41.8 gr of H4350? I'm only getting 2640 with 42.5 gr! And my ballistics are spot on as I took 2 deer with consecutive shots at 250 and 300 yds within 3 mins of each other.

Yeah as much as I hate to, I can't help but recommend the cartridge to others.
Its boringly accurate and effective for 90% of hunters and shooters

Elevation? Getting 2790-2810 out of a 26" barrel @ 2350 elevation

I did not believe any of the Creedmoor hype. I was a long action cartridge hunter. 30-06, 270 Win, 338 Win Mag. Then I got into 270 WSM and found that short action cartridges could still kick ***. My Dad always killed deer with .308 Winchester.
My first 6.5 Creedmoor in a Sauer 100 was totally shocking to me. Another followed in Mauser M18. And another Sauer 100 in 30-06 and was blown away that kind of accuracy could come out of a larger, more powerful cartridge.
When you have pinpoint accuracy, you can blow their brains out.

Same here, I bought the barreled action on sale, bought all the other parts during the Christmas specials. What's not to like, cheap as all get out to shoot. Accurate and shoots like a .22 long rifle. Have a slot reserved for up to 2000 yard line at Cameo on Thursday for myself, daughter and son to shoot steel. Oh yea, 2000 round barrel life. And I'm bald.

I'm at 1300 so that much difference in 1000' elevation?
From what I've read the difference per 1000' in elevation is approximately 1% so at 2640 fps + 1% only increases velocity a bit over 26 fps or to 2666 fps. I just can't see 2750 using less of the same powder.

Shot 130 Sierra tipped game kings,called the "game changer"
It shot and still shoots great,and put the smack down on deer! That's the one the little girl has. H4350 42.9 grains, 2775 fps. Should have been faster, but its what it is. I suspect it will speed up over time. But sense it only gets shot ten or twelve times a year I'll never know.
Its around 2640.
I'm getting my speeds with 41.5 h4350 and .250 moa consistently over 10 Rds. 26" tube

That would explain it over elevation. You're getting your extra velocity from the longer barrel.
