25 creed/cal load dev and killing thread

[doc holiday13]

I'm finally gonna start breaking in my barrel. I'll be using some hornady 134 Eldm. I'll burn 200 of those and start on my 135 tmk. The attached photo is a 135g TMK next to hornady 134 eldm next to a 22 cal 77g smk and a 90g 6mm accubond .

The break in load is
Hornady 6.5creed brass necked down to 25 cal. Used a mandrel die to set neck tension at .0025
Cci LRP
40g rl-17
Hornady 134g ELDm seated to OAL listed in hornady's manual

The TMK will be
Alpha brass
Cci mag-SRP
H4350 probably 41.xx
OAL will be whatever my buddy set his OAL to because we have twin barrels

I've got two 25 creed barrels that should be showing up anyday. A 26" pbb 900 taperless that im planning to shoot 131 smk or 135 bergers. A 18" mcgowen im planning to shoot the 135 tmks. I ordered peterson brass for both of them.

Where'd you get the 135s!

Those look nasty

Im fiending over here

No help on what you've got. But 135 bergers with 43.9 N555 are getting 2902 from my 28". Took it up to 44.7. 2960. No pressure signs (alpha brass). But I got scared. And for competition reliability wins

Mine is 24". My buddy was pushing Berger 135s at 2850 with his barrel so that's what I'm expecting. he pulled 1st place lightweight div. in his nrl match last month
