Real world factory 108 Eld-m ammo 6mm creedmoor fps

[Davedeem]

Depends on the gun, powder lot, etc but yeah it’s higher than I’d load. Dangerous? Probably in danger of popping a primer and having tough bolt lift at least, less so getting seriously hurt.

Hornady laod data lists max load for 108 ELDM at 41.7. I'm loading a few tenths under that and getting 2970. Steve's load is a bit over max. This is my speed with my current lot of factory 108 ELDM 18" barrel Diligent Defense Wolf Hunter can.

Yes, the hornady h4350 max load velocity correlates to about 2900 FPS in an 18" tube. So 70 FPS beyond that likely means you are at a higher pressure than they were when they were actually measuring pressure for load data.
