i thought this might be of interest to members who are 6.5Creedmoor shooters.
140 ELD-M 2.950 OCL to jam rifling Tikka T3x CTR
140 Nosler RDF 2.991
147 ELD-M 3.009
I posted this over on Quickload thread and have not heard back yet but was surprised the Tikka has so much freebore. (.199 is SAAMI standard). I will probably load 2.89 or maximum of 2.915. (The Tikka magazines are longer than Accuracy Internaitonal magazines.) I assume that Tikka gave their barrels alot of freebore because they assumed shooters would be using bullets with secant or hybrid ogives???
Length of common 6.5 bullets below.
140 ELD-M 1.374 length of bullets
140 RDF 1.420
147 ELD 1.440
140 Nosler Partition 1.290
140 AccuBond 1.368
140 Hornady BTHP 1.338
130 AccuBond 1.320
130 ELD-M 1.310
