For you that do them or know about them, does having a clean bore versus having a fouled barrel make much of a difference in the consistency of the test? I did back to back ladder tests (15 shots each) starting with a clean barrel. I'm worried that the dirtier it gets the more it may not be...
I made my first trip with StaBill 6.5 this last weekend as well. Only did ladder tests in my 6.5 cm. Nothing super fast but it was better than RL17 in speed in the temps we shot at, mid 40s. I plan on going back out this weekend to see what kind of groups I can get out of it.

If you are asking what powder charge to use in the Nosler Brass, I would drop what you have been shooting 10% and work back up with the new brass.

Thats awswome. I've really gotten to like the 6.5 Creedmoor, accurate, light kicking, and its not super expensive to shoot, which means more practice for me.

I have 300 Sierra 87 Spitzers (older boxes) I have no need for. I have no idea what they are worth. I'm willing to trade for any 6.5 bullets you may have?

Everyone has given great advise Thanks again I’m going to run some tests for accuracy next and see Maybe it will be a back up load or I’ll develops a 140 AB load in case I chase elk with it
I have not tried it I’ve had great success with accubonds but I’m not a fan of the LR versions I have a bunch of 30 caliber 210 s that none of my 300s like I may still the 140 AB THOUGH

I did a ladder test today with my 6.5 Creedmoor using RL 26 with 143 gun ELDX (sorry Nosler). My current load is RL 17 which gets on average of 2713 fps. My ladder test with RL26 got me up to 48-48.4 (accuracy node) with a high velocity of 2818 and a low of 2811. Is that 100 fps worth it in...
