Anyone have success with eld-vt?

[5811]

I've shot factory loaded eld-vt in 6 arc which did not group well, and now I am reloading 100gr VT in 6.5 creedmoor. The rifle is a bergara wilderness hmr that absolutely stacks factory 147's. Regular sub 1" for 10.

I've tried varget, cfe-223, and N150. The cfe-223 grouped best and had the best velocity, 3300 average , but I can't get 10 under 1.25" which is my goal.

Varget was a max load at 5 different seating depths by 0.010. All groups were essentially the same. 3200 average. N150 was in between in group and velocity.

Is this just a really picky bullet? Do they like a lot or a little jump?

I'm very new to reloading so going at this in some haphazard combination of forms painless reloading and some of my friends who obsess over seating depth suggestions. My next idea would be to drop the cfe and n150 loads by a grain and see.

Not shown are the first groups of varget at 2.775, which are essentially the same as the other coal variations. There were some 10-15mph gusts when shooting.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have had luck with the 62s in a 223. I’m not jumping them far in that rifle.

And I have seen some impressive groups out of Hornady factory 6.5cm eld vt ammo.
