6.5 Creedmoor & RL26

[Buttermilk]

I did a little preliminary testing in my 6.5CM with RL26 and the Hornady 143 ELDX to see if it was worth pursuing.

May have to take a closer look at it.

My gun is a Rem 700 LH 24" bbl & Leupold VX5 4x-20x-52 duplex scope.

My only problem is I've only got about 9 lbs of RL26 left and I been feeding it to a couple 30 Nosler's.

Nice! I like the RL26 and 143 eldx combo as well. 47.5 is the sweet spot in my tikka. Easy on brass and gives me ~2800fps.

Cruise control…

Now do that in a 30" barrel…3000 fps+

Save the R26 and just shoot h4350 with 41-42 grains with Lapua brass and a federal small match primer and you're golden

What's RL26??

 

[Creedmoor shooter]

I broke 3000fps in a 26in i had and broke 2900 in 2 different 22in barrels. I gave up on it when it became so hard to find and went back to h4350.

I would, but so far my gun has not like H4350 nearly as well for accuracy. Now, StaBall 6.5 give me good accuracy and nearly as much velocity as RL26. For now, I'll be using StaBall 6.5. I've already shot one load out to 1,100 yards on a couple of occasions.

2850 fps with 143's…..ok, you have my attention!

In my experience superformance and RL26 are very close. 24" tikka factory loaded to lands. I have some staball 6.5 I haven't tried yet but heard the same.

Second the Superform. It's cheap and shows at gunshops like weeds in a garden.
