6.5 Creedmoor

[Wyo7200]

I am having a 6.5 CM put together on a Blue printed Rem SA with a #4 benchmark barrel finished at 26" . I was hoping some of you 6.5CM guys could tell me what to expect from this outfit using 130-140 gr Berger VLDS I was hoping to get 2750 -2800 would this be to much to expect ,and does anyone have a good powder recommendation I was thinking H 4350 .

Throw me some of your component data and Ill run a QL + OBT node estimate for you.

COAL:
Case Capacity in H2o:
Twist rate:
Velocity: (if you have chonographed any other loads with that powder, the same information as above. This will help determine the burn rate for that lot and make the estimates more accurate.

I'm running 43.5gr H4350 with a Berger 130 H-VLD@ 2970FPS from a 27" Barrel

Just came back from the range testing some load data and was able to find a sweet spot. With Hornady factory ammo, it would consistently shoot 5/8 inch groups and an occasional 1/2. Rifle is stock savage madel 10 Max 1 Predator. With hand loads, I ended up with what you see. Have to shoot more to see if it repeatable.
