I have a 23.2" barrel. Results at ~60 degrees F:
139gr Scenar @2839fps, using 42.8gr of RE17 (RS60) with CCI BR2 primers.
123gr Scenar @3062fps, using 45.0gr of RE17 (RS60) with CCI BR2 primers.

123gr Scenar @3062fps, using 45.0gr of RE17 (RS60) with CCI BR2 primers.
Max loads? I could start approx 10% lower than these loads?

24" 1:8" Proof Sendero contour
Hornady brass
Fed GM210M
Hodgdon Superformance
143 ELD-X
2.2605" CBTO (.005" jammed)
2.8965 COAL
Brass weight sorted 147-150gr after full prep
Annealed neck/shoulder
Ladder test:
41.0 to 47.5gr. charge weights. 48.0 I did not shoot.
2565 to 2966fps (on 47.5gr: no flattened primer, no cratered primer, no ejector mark, possible very slight case head swipe?, easy bolt lift)
Charges had 3 distinct nodes with little velocity increases, very little vertical dispersion @ 352 yards. Then a jump in speed to next node, but still little vertical separation until I hit 47.5gr. Had a 2" jump in elevation, and possibly a very slight sign of pressure, so I quit. Best node will be in the 2800-2850fps range, with a 4 charge weight (2.0gr.) group with 1/2" of vertical separation with 2-9mph fluctuating wind. Shots 8-11. Throw 12 & 13 in there, and still a good node.
Something to be said about stiff barrels and a mild recoiling round.

I developed mine with the OCW method in a Seekins Havak and came up with the following load:
143 ELD-X seated .050" off the lands, which is the same ogive length as factory loaded Hornady Precision Hunter
41.8 gr H4350
Hornady Brass
Fed 210M
Consistent .3 MOA 5 shot groups at 2730 fps

This is my PRS load. 142gr SMK: seated .040" off the lands.

I have done a bunch of 24" Creedmoors. Most seem to like 41-42gr of H4350 with velocities from 2740-2840 depending on the barrel and what bullet used. 47-48 grains of R26 will give velocities well into 2900 plus. R16 also gives good velocity and groups. The same 41-42gr of R16 will get about 100fps more than 4350 in my experience with it.
What's throwing me off is that in nosler's book, 41 grains of h4350 and a 140 grain bullet, they only got 2699 FPS as a max load.
That was withba 24" barrel

Savage 10 24"
once fired peterson ws2 coated 147. 47.3Rl26 215m 2892, 2.820. sd 3 es 6. I shot today to 300 in no wind @ 55 degrees. .625 over all for 8 shots. In 52 degrees of change since I first tested I gained 40 fps.
120smk 43.0 100V peterson 2890fps shoots to the same zero @100yd as the above. I had 24 loaded up and shot them all to recover the brass. All were virgin and I will load to 47.0 and the coated 147's to try and stay close to 2855ish. That is the money spot for my rifle with 147's.
43.0 of 4955 peterson brass 210m 2.830 142smk I shot 4 today into .355@100yds. I got errors on all 4 shots so I stopped for another time. I had cleaned between the 147's and the 120's because of the different powder. I went from the 24shots to cool then shot the screamer. We had 2 6.5's shooting 42.3H4350 and 142smk's also. 2788 for one and 2804 for the other. Both were 24" 8tw, one shillen ratchet and 1 Kreiger 5r or 6groove. Both shot well first time out.
