Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 62350 psi, or 429 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 112 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

7 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

Jim, 17 is your Huckleberry with the 120's and even 130's. If you were so inclined to try the 127 LRX, 17 will tear down 2950 pretty easily..
 
Thanks guys! That is some impressive speeds for a 22" barrel, to me anyhow! ha I figured I'd be lucky to get 2850 or so. Of course, I still have to get the rifle ( another Mesa) in my hot little hands before I can wring it out! Either of you guys ever try the 139 Scenar in the Creedmoor ( or similar 260, 6.5 Swede?)
 
Heck yes! In my opinion and people may freak out, it is a wicked killer. While it isn't labeled "hunting" it works more like a thick jacketed cup and a core than a Berger or ELD sorta bullet. It's what I run in my AR10 and occasionally in my bolt gun. It is fast, easy to make accurate and works excellent on deer. I can't find anything to say it doesn't work as well as a BT. I think it has a harder allow lead core which tends to mushroom more than just disintegrate.
 
How fast is it? Not that it really matters, just curious of "real world" speeds with the Creed?
 
Is there a combination that will shoot a 140gr bullet ( any) to a soild 2800fps from a 22" Creed? How close then, if not? To me, it seems that 140@2800 has been a Gold Standard for the 7x57 for a long, long time! Same for 7mm/08.
 
Does QL show the Scenar 139? If so, could you run some numbers? Thanks.

I get about 2775 from my 6.5 Swede and 147 ELDs. 2800 shouldn’t be a big truck with a few powders.
 
I can remember as a teenager there were lots of 6.5 "Eyetalians" ( surplus sporters) and many deer, and later (after Stock Law took affect) many hogs. I only saw the heavy roundnose in use. As the Italian is a bit less than the Swede, it apparently doesn't take a lot of speed for anything similar to be a good killer.

No, I’d agree Jim. I think we all get trapped in our heads about 100-200 FPS one way or the other. If you just gotta have the speed, you’ve gotta have it, but man, the days when we just loaded a cartridge with the most accurate charge of powder then shot them at distance and learned our drops... those were the days. No chronograph or fighting to get accuracy at the utmost speed. We “thought” we already had it. Plus, we all still killed a pile of elk and deer every year.
 
You got that right! ha I have had 'several" really killer loads, in several rifles, that my "new" chronographed just "ruint" for me! ha The 7mm Rem Mag/160PT/IMR 4350 ( "only" 2950 instead of the 3100 I thought I was getting) and the .280 Ackley/Nosler 150BT/R22 ( again, "2950" from its 22" barrel. I got "2900" when it was a regular .280!!!! AARRGH! :)
