Make sure you get enough as you have to shoot a 4000 shot groups to prove they are accurate. Lol
I think for that analysis it was 40 rounds.

And Trump has a cape and flies faster than a speeding bullet, right? LoL

You know, being staff member and a moderator I would expect more of a mature approach. Sorry I threaten you so much, it was never my intent. Sorry Rob.Make sure you get enough as you have to shoot a 4000 shot groups to prove they are accurate. Lol

Perfect.Lol threaten me? Lol Now that’s funny. How many times we have to have this conversation statically to prove that? Lol Far from threatened. More like amused.
The only help (or non-help) I can offer is I have never liked the Barnes bullets. Have had too many deer running when they would not with other bullets. The tipped partition style seem to work best for me and are, seemingly, more accurate but that is more of a subjective thing.Looking for some feedback on barnes 145gr match burners, looking for some heavier options, as 153gr bergers and 150gr smk’s seem impossible to find.
I’ve had good luck with 112gr matchburners in my gt, but havent seen much about the 145gr.
I run a bix n andy 2 stage, around 5oz for the first stage then 14oz for the second.Just wondering, serious question: approx what pressure do you have your trigger set for with your competition rifle, assuming 6.5 CM?
I have been playing around with different springs and, so far, am liking a very light one. Do not know the pressure it works out to yet. Oh, and it’s the stock Tikka trigger.
Thanks! I am thinking I am around 8 Oz but need to verify that. I have a buddy who has the tool, just haven’t gotten around to it. If I am close to correct that puts me between your first and second break which is where I want to be.I run a bix n andy 2 stage, around 5oz for the first stage then 14oz for the second.
Try em @.90 to .120 off. They it like off aways too.What are you guys jumping 144 berger lrhr? I tried them at .060, .070, and .080, seemed to like the .070 best.
I loaded up a few hundred at .075 for a match, this winter i will mess around with the load. The larger jump would also give me more clearance in my mags.Try em @.90 to .120 off. They it like off aways too.
I just started reloading 145's for my 6.5. Finally found a good node in my barrel. They are a long bullet so to fit in the mag, the OGIV will be far off the lands.Looking for some feedback on barnes 145gr match burners, looking for some heavier options, as 153gr bergers and 150gr smk’s seem impossible to find.

Brand New PVA OBW 7.5t 26" 6.5CM Barrel
- Alpha OCD SRP
- H4350
- Berger 153.5
- 30 thou jump
4x 40.0; all others are 5x
39.0: 2,506, 6 SD
39.5: 2,538, 7 SD
40.0: 2,565 5 SD
40.5: 2,594 7 SD
My buddy shot one of the 40.0 through his broke-in barrel and we clocked it at 2,665.
10 @ 41.5 and 5 for the restHow many shots fired per charge weight?
Dispersion effect. Even 10 shots is insufficient (although much better than 3 or 5) for stable and accurate statistical analysis.Im loading Berger 144’s with Federal Match LRP and H4350. I recently switched barrels (barrel has around 200 or so on it at this point) so I worked up some loads to test. Previous barrel ran 41.5 at 2730 (high temps here in Las Vegas). Now, temp was around 35 degrees lower than previous load development and used a fresh batch of powder for this.
41.5 - 2702 fps
41.7 - 2691 fps
42.0 - 2680 fps
42.2 - 2736 fps
Grouping was significantly better at 42. My question is, what’s with the fluctuation up and down of velocity?
So are you saying the dispersion effect isn't real or that you would need to talk to 10 million people to have an accurate data sample that might predict an election?Dispersion effect. Even 10 shots is insufficient (although much better than 3 or 5) for stable and accurate statistical analysis.
It’s like talking to 100 random people and using that data to predict an election.
Going back to this. Since groups at 42 were great compared to the rest, would you stick with this charge weight or drop down to 41.5 and play with seating depth?Im loading Berger 144’s with Federal Match LRP and H4350.

I would go 41.5 and check out seating depth options. The powder is pretty stable, but your barrel is also pretty new.Going back to this. Since groups at 42 were great compared to the rest, would you stick with this charge weight or drop down to 41.5 and play with seating depth?
