Finally got to shoot at the range today after being swamped with work for a month. Took the Creedmoor 6.5, and some H4350 loads of 130 VLD's. Made 3 rounds of each charge from 38.3 to 40.3 grains in .2 increments. I still have the 30 inch barrel, the velocity is a good 2875 to 2900 fps with mild charges. Looks like the accuracy node is between 39.6 and 40 grains of H4350. There are several clusters of .2 to .3 MOA except the wild flyer in the 2nd group. The tightest group measured .125 MOA but I am running out of VLD's but still have an unopened bulk of 500 bullets in 130 Hybrids. I may have to start a new test, I hate doing that when I just made some nice loads but run out of bullets and then I have to buy a new box with a different lot and that might change everything again anyway.

Looks incredible! That is very promising. Love that little 6.5 Creedmoor.
