Shot yesterday at 1100 yards with a 140 out of a GA Crusader. Dope was 31.98 moa. Actually shot a spray paint can and the bullet was still inside! It was fun as hell.
Range Report 6.5 creedmor w/ 140 vld at 1100 yards.
- Thread starter Aimsmall55
- Start date
I'm interested....as I have a GAP 6.5CM enroute.
barrel contour, length, twist?
Ammo Specs? Powder, charge, assuming Berger VLD? avg velocity?

I think Aimsmall and I both have 8.5 twist 27" Bartlein barrels. Mine is threaded 5/8-14 and I have an FTE brake on the end of mine (or a suppressor) I was 8.9 mil to 1100 (30.5 moa).
42.6gr H4350, CCI 200 primer. Bullet seated 2.150" to ogive w/ Hornaday comparitor. 2.810" OAL. 2840 fps.

Thanks mike.
My build will be a trued Rem700 with a Bartlein m24/m40 26", 5R 1:8 with Thruster brake. I'm hoping to see 2800fps avg with the 140 pills
FYI - Midway has 6.5CM brass in stock as of this post: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/528000/hornady-reloading-brass-65-creedmoor-box-of-50

I've been shooting Berger Hybrids out of my S.A.C. .260 1100 yards 9.3 mils
43g of H4350 .040 off the lands Lapua brass 2835 FPS
I've hit a few cans of spray paint at 1010 yard. Both times the bullet went clean though. Once w/ a .308 the other w/a 6.5 Creedmoor built by GAP.
Caught one on film.

Gap #7 , 27", 8.5 twist
Fgm210m, h4350, 42.4, 2.140 to ogive. About 2815 fps. I've lost a little for some reason...
Thrusty,
Appreciate the 6.5 brass link to Midway. Placed my order for brass and RCBS dies, have an AIAE on order with Mile high and want to make sure I'm ready!

It amazes me that the round was recovered inside the paint can. I would think it would have the velocity to go straight through? Was the can up against a solid dirt background? What is your thoughts on how the round failed to penetrate both sides of the can.?
thrusty, thanks for the update on the brass. Just ordered another 4 boxes. Good luck this weekend at the Tac Rifle shoot. Maybe I'll make it next month.
No it was on top of the ar500 plate. The can was full of paint but the nozzle broke. Maybe that's why
