6.5 creedmoor and 147 eldm

[Jud96]

Thanks brother. Did a little more climbing and ended up getting 42.6 gr which had SD or 2 and printed a 1/4 moa group and I broke 2800. So going to play with it a little more. Thanks for all the help fellows.

Right on man, keep us updated. That's a great load.

The 42.6 sounds like it will work.

I've been working on the 147 in my creed. I've been very impressed to say the least. 3 shot groups regular in the .1s. I've tried rl-17 and rl-26. With rl-17 41 grains got me to 2785. Which isn't bad but I wanted more. 41.5 got me to 2849 with a very nice group. I had one high velocity reading which brought my es to just over 30 but without that one reading I had an es of 11. I've also ran rl-26 but I haven't chronoed it yet. My load with that is 47.5 grains so Im expecting 2900ish.

How is that RL-17 compared to H4350 for temp stability?

I haven't actually tested it to find out for myself. But most everyone says h4350 is better.

I had a good Creed load fall apart with RL17, but I haven't had a single problem using it in 30-06. I have my own theory about that.

Thanks for the info, I'll be loading for a Creed in May and this was exactly the components that I wanted to start with.

I'm running the 147s in my Creedmoor with H4831SC at 2820 FPS. It's the best bullet I've ever run in my Creed and it'll take a helluva good 156 grain bullet from Berger to get me to switch back from the Hornady.

I'm running a 25.5" Brux barrel with a 1-8" twist.

 

[Slick8]

Perhaps I missed it but what's your barrel length?

The 147 officially has my stamp of approval. It was cold and raining in northern NH yesterday but I still wanted to get out and do some shooting so I went and got wet. Decided to go for 1000 yards with the 147 eld and 41.5 grains of rl-17. Temp was about 40-45 and I entered a velocity of 2842. I was on target 2nd round and put together a 3-3.5 in group at 1000 yards. I was very pleased to say the least. The hornady 4dof calculator was spot on.

I did a ladder test at 600 yards a few days ago. Found two good nodes around 2770fps and 2820fps, 28" barrel.
Loaded up 5 in each node and will test them out this weekend.

It was nice wind wise yesterday here in Alton. This afternoon I went out to confirm my zero and it was blowing hard solid 20+. Still managed to confirm my elevation I went back n forth about 2 moa for the 10 shots. Ended up back at the original 0. I did loose a magazine walking out. My bag opened up and I could not find it when I went back as it was getting dark. Hopefully I can find it before the end of the wknd.
Once your comfortable with the 17 load. Try the Rl 26 I has been much more stable temp wise than I thought it would be. I ran within 8fps at 48 degrees from the last 2 times out @ 26 and 28

I'm definitely trying rl-26 at longer distance but I just didnt have a Chrono reading on my rl-26 load and I did on the rl-17 load so thats what I took. I'll get a Chrono reading on my rl-26 load soon.

I am getting 2820 fps with the 147 in a 6.5x47 lapua. It is 26 inch barrel. They are coated hbn and using h4350.
