This was probably to easy but the first load I tried in the wife's new WBY. Camilla shot 3 shots touching in a horizontal group. Load was from Nosler book, max charge of RL17 2850 fps. from a 20 in. barrel, OAL 2.750. I'll shoot it again to verify but some times I like it to be easy.
6.5 Creedmoor and 129g ablr

Been thinking of trying these myself. Have some RL17 and H4350 to try them with.

Sounds promising, good speed and if you can repeat the accuracy it sounds like a winner.

First load and you went right for max charge?

This was the first load shot for group not the first round through the rifle. I first shot two lighter loads over chrony to see speed before wasting any powder or brass. I have been reloading for 55 years so I know where to start. I have never had a maximum book load create excessive pressure in any rifle I have owned. The newer books are printed with lawsuits in mind.

I have a 300 Win Mag that would turn inside out with a max load.
