Old thread, but considering this post, and my own questions about hand loading for my rifle…
6.5 Creedmoor:
- Pristine action
- 18” Proof Carbon, 7.5” twist, Sendero profile
- HNT26 Chassis
- TBAC Ultra 7 (always on)
Currently using factory ammo, but looking to replicate the 130TGK factory velo with a TGK or a TMK.
Sierra factory 130gr Gamechangers ( TGK),
LR chrono @ 2750fps at 3100ft elevation, 50°F. Sub-moa in 5 shot groups
Sierra factory 140gr Gamechangers
LR chrono @ 2550fps at same elev/temp, same sub-moa results.
I’m hoping to find a 2024 powder combo that’ll help me get those same speeds with hand loads, since I already have the gear, and components break down to ~$1.75/rd, and I like to shoot a lot. Otherwise the factory ammo is an easy winner.
I’ve yet to try any powders but StaBALL 6.5, and VV N555 are on my current list. Any hot tips appreciated!
