My AR10 - 6.5 Creedmoor

[C.O. Shooter]

Range sessions in order:
1.

2.

3. 140s were ELDM from here on out.

4.

Need to shoot at distance now. I know a guy that has a 500 yard range.

 

[C.O. Shooter]

Left (me) and middle (son) - Hornady Match 140 ELDM. This has been the most consistent for me.

Right - My AR doesn't like the 125 Maximus CEB - loaded ammo (100 yds).

All were shot relatively quick.

 

[C.O. Shooter]

Winchester 129 grain power point.

CEB 125 grain maximus.

Berger 156 grain EOL
(I did take a MOA out after the first group).

Still working with factory loaded ammo.

These are all factory ammo, loaded ammunition. I was hoping for a miracle on one of them.

I have all the components with the exception of bullets and a die to load for this rifle.

3 of my 5 creeds ( 1 cbi & 2 ap) liked Hornady 123a-max and 123sst factory ammo. Enjoy your new manbun.

First time loading for the 6.5 Creedmoor. Using H4350. I am limited in seating depth as my magazines can accommodate up to 2.850." For all of these loads I started at 2.750" OAL and then took that BTO measurement and rolled with it. Right or wrong, I was alternating between targets and loads. I did a deep cleaning prior to shooting this morning. I waited at least 6 minutes between groups. Shots were 10-20 seconds apart.

All groups/targets.

The factory loaded 129 Winchester or 156 Bergers, didn't perform awful!

125 CEB Maximus -
I really wanted these to work, but it isn't looking good. I tried their factory ammo previously, which didn't shoot well in my gun. Undecided about moving them out 5 thousandths and trying again. According to CEB, 43.1 is near max load.

140 Berger VLD Hunting - 41.5 looks promising! May increase this a little bit and see what happens. And or start playing with seating depth.

Not certain how to read/tell of pressure signs in an AR (Not like a heavy bolt lift). I didn't see anything to alarming. 140 Berger VLD Hunting (40.9, 41.2, & 41.5)

125 CEB Maximus (42.4, 42.7, & 43.0)

 

[C.O. Shooter]

All groups/targets

125 CEB Maximus -

140 Berger VLD Hunting - 41.5

Really happy with these results. Will be distance and velocity testing on the 41.5 @2.090.
