Ruger Precision Rifle - 6.5CM

CBlack · Oct 24, 2016

So I picked up my RPR in 6.5CM and opted for the XTRII. Zero'd it with factory Hornady ELD-M 140gr ammo then tried out some test loads with Berger 140 Hybrids. All Chrono'd with an Oehler 35P.

Going to try out some 4451 next and fine tune the R17 and IMR4350 loads.

My buddy is shooting VLD's out of his, with I think 42.3 or 42.8gr pushing it out of his RPR. He's shooting ragged holes at 100yds, and less than 1" at 300yds.

What powder?

A go to load in 6.5 Creedmoor is 42.6 H4350 under a 140 Hybrid.

Thanks.

And as luck would have it, I just found 2# of H4350 today. And 2# of X-terminator for other rounds.

I use R17 with Hornday 140 match 41.5 gn mag length and getting 2700fps with my ruger 6.5c. This was my best load testing and it shot sub Moa at 100yards. This is my 600 yard load.
