Thread: 6.5 Creedmore loads

Well done it's a bloody good powder just watch that load in mid summer.
Although you would probably have sold it by then

Fark 140eldms @ 2910....that has the capability to knock animals over out a loooooooooong way

I've found the 140 ELD-M to be excellent jap medicine in open country. Load them just over 2,800 fps with RE-16 for .5 MOA. Get 2,900 fps with the same bullet with RE-26 but want to keep barrel wear down as I use that rifle for hunter class shooting with a reduced load of 2209.

2910fps! Hell that's some serious velocity for a 22" barrel, is it healthy?

Seems fine no pressure signs will definately keep an eye on it once we get into summer though

I will add the obligatory disclaimer here though, Hornady Load data lists superformance powder for the 140eldm with a max charge of 44.7gr for 2800fps in 24" test rifle. This load is 1.3gr over that max listed load so proceed with caution
