Over the years I have had good results using the BLC-2 powder in everything from 222 Remington through to the 308 Winchester. I haven’t found any data on using this powder in the 6.5 Creedmoor so I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with this combination? Or knows where to find data?
I recently purchased a Bergara B14 Stoke in 6.5 Creedmoor. This rifle comes with a 20 inch barrel. I find that although it shoots 120 grain bullets accurately enough, it really doesn’t like 140’s. Groups in this weight range are disappointing. My previous Bergara B14 HMR would handle all bullet...

Thanks, Abe…
I sincerely believe the 257 Roberts is a classic cartridge that deserves a better fate than the dust bin of history. As such here is what I have done to restore this cartridge to everything that I believe Ned Roberts intended it to be. The cartridge on the right is the standard factory offering...
Hello and thanks for letting me join this forum. My first question concerns the 257 Roberts. I would like to compare the case capacity of the 257 Roberts with the 257 Roberts AI and the 25 Creedmoor. I haven’t had much luck find ing a source for this information and the sources I have found have...
