Just confirmed my final load for the 6.5 creedmoor. 

H4350 41 grains
140 grain Nosler Accubond

Series   11    Shots:   4
Min   2705    Max   2724
Avg   2711   S-D   8.8
ES    19      
         
Series   Shot   Speed      
11   1   2724    ft/s   
11   2   2706    ft/s   
11   3   2705    ft/s   
11   4   2709    ft/s   

First pic is the 4 shot group that matches the chrono'd speeds above....the three shot group is that is touching is .32 and what the load / rifle is capable of if I did my part.   :chuckle: :chuckle:

Rl17 with 42 grains got me 80 fps faster but showed pressure signes in hot weather so I went back to old faithful and am pretty happy. 

The second pic is my son's group with the same rifle.  He is 7 and loves shooting this rifle.  All in All, I would say he did a great job.

Such a sweet shooting chambering! So much hate for it from the .260 guys. It's not a "Fad" cartridge. It's here to stay. Any serious shooter would recognize that, at just a glance of the reamer print!

Well done!👍

Is looking good. Quick calculation shows 1790 fps at 600 yards with that Accubond (59 degrees, 1000 feet). Decent poke.
