Velocity from 6.5 Creedmoor

[WYO300RUM]

I got 2840 with the ELDX 143 with my 26" Browning Long Range Stalker. Very suprised by that.

Factory ammo ? That's pretty good. My Tikka 24.5 in. Was only 2646.. Disappointing...

Sorry, no. that was a handload with RL 16.

 

[WYO300RUM]

I'm going to post it anyway !

26" McGowan on my brothers rifle I built runs 2840 with factory ammo. Fast eats I've ever seen. I've been around a lot of creeds and most run 2650-2850 with 20-26 barrels. Majority run 2650-2750. I was running 2800 in a 20" proof but it proved to be bit too hot so I'm back down to 2650-2700

Yeah. Handloads with 140's in the 2800's is common with no pressures in my loads also. Haven't tried RL16.

I'd probably believe close to 2900 with RL26 and 140s! No where near to 3100fps! Remember the 80/20 rule!

143 ELD-X with 40.5 gr H4350 is barely over 2700. 24" Bergara.

24" Remington, 140 ELDM @ 2855, verified out to 800 in temps up to 100F with no pressure.

Definitely a sweet spot and 150fps over the factory match offering.

My wife shoots 143's over 50 grains of RL26 at 2930 from a Tikka Superlite. That's a 5 shot average over a Magnetospeed. Not sure what brass life is like because it just gets hunted with. She doesn't shoot a ton.

I have 2 6.5 CM`s, one is a tikka 24" that I shoot 2750 fps (140 eld-m) the other is a 26" Savage thatshoots Ruger American Gunner 140 bthp`s at 2720. I call BS on a Ruger American with a shorter barrel going 3100 fps. However, I easily broke 2900 fps with RL 26 and 140 eldms in the Savage. RL 26 is a velocity monster in this cartridge.... H4350 shoots better for me tho. I would ask him if he even owns a chronograph....

No way! Is my vote..

I use Hornaday 140 ELD-M in my 6.5 CM RPR and the FPS is 2800. Lapua brass. 42.6 H4350, BR4 primers, 140gr ELD-M, SD 4.5

I use Hornaday 140 ELD-M in my 6.5 CM RPR and the FPS is 2800.

Barrel length?

 

[Windntail]

Verified out to 800 yards

I have yet to understand the emphasis on velocity. I have better accuracy at lower velocities. my 6.5 creed is at 2750 average, with 140 gr VLD and IMR 4451 40.6 gr. Browning a/bolt II 26" barrel
