147 GR ELD M and Reloader 26 for the 6.5 Creedmoor

[xbonesny]

Anyone have any load data for the aforementioned combo? I am running Alpha Brass, 26" Hawk Hill 1:7.5 twist and Fed 210m primers.
I have taken these bullets to 1760 yards running speed of 2720, and was told to try this combo to increase FPS. I have 3 pounds coming soon, and could use some help with starting load info

What powder are you using to get to 2720 with the 147?

 

[Bandit31]

I've never used Alpha brass but if it has less case capacity than Hornady I'd probably start around 44-45gr of Rl26. I run 47gr in Hornady brass with cci 200 and get roughy 2838fps out of my 22" proof with no issues.

I'm using H4350 with 40.5 Grains

I am using H4350 in Hornady brass and getting 2820fps from my 27" barrel. You should be able to get more than 2720fps with a 26" barrel.

Isn't rl26 pretty unstable temp wise? I'm getting 2705 with 45.0 H4831SC, br2 at mag length in a 24 inch tube. Hornady brass that has seen this load at least 10 times. Add a WLRM and get 2743 avg. Still playing with that one.

Not according to some test results by a member a short time back.



My 147 load is 46 grains. For me, it’s 125 fps faster than my h4350 load.

Maybe I need some new magic dust! Lol

This was what I was looking for. Been loading 4350 out of a 22" with low velocity. I've got some rl26 I'll be working up loads for.

How much powder crunch are you getting with that load?

Not much "crunch" at all. Just today playing with rl16. Shot at 65 degrees this morning will shoot at 95 this afternoon.

Will a 1:8 stabilize the 147's?

I'm shooting a gen 1 RPR and have seen no issues besides my complete lack of skill while on the clock. Lol

thanks for the info brother. My buddy once told me the fastest was to drop someone's IQ 20 points was to set of a shot timer, and he wasn't lying lol.
