Alpha / 6.5 CM / RL16 / 140 ELDM Load Recommendations?

[Hunt]

I purchased a Hawk Hill 1/8 26" barreled action. I've always been a Lapua fan but decided to use Alpha LRP brass this go round. Can someone tell me what their load is using:

- 6.5 CM Alpha LRP brass
- RL16
- Hornady 140 ELDM
- CCI 200
- 26" 1/8t barrel

In my research, it looks like 40.8 gr should yield upper velocities with RL16. Data is somewhat sparse compared to H4350.

Start at 40 grains and work up from there. Your 40.8 sounds spot on to me. I am running 40.5 grains rl 16 from my 26” rock creek barrel with the 147 eld. FPS 2820
