Thread: 6.5 Creedmoor load development

@Puffin Yes I went back to find what you said in your post and I think that may have contributed for sure. However this brass is on its 6th load (anneald on the 5th) and I would have thought to see ejector prints disappear by now if it was just the new case dimensions. I have only ever neck sized this brass and bumped the shoulder a couple of thou, head spacing on loaded rounds feels fine, no weight to close bolt or wiping on them when extracted unfired.
There is nothing else obvious that I can see and with the new batch of powder the pressure signs have gone which leads me to believe that was the sole cause.
Regardless of resolving that issue I dont think I will stray from RL16 now as 2209 may match it in accuracy with a little more load developement but will never match its speed.
