I'm pumped! New rifle coming soon.

The only thing I'm going to do is fire-form the brass and try to bump up the velocity. The down side of this load is that I'm only getting 2692fps out of it. I'm hoping to get a lot closer to 2800 without any loss of accuracy. If I can it will give me another 100 yards of supersonic bullet flight.

This is with 140's?

Take that puppy to 2770-2820 and she'll be fine

Yep, that's what I'm thinking. I'm running IMR 4451 and load data on it is slim, to say the least. I'm already past max for the only real data I could find, but I'm reading a lot about people having to bump up the load a full grain or more to get the same velocity as 4350 and they're not having any problems with pressure doing it.

The 136 grain Lapua Scenar-L. It's a new one that was pretty much developed for the 6.5 Creedmoor and I've already heard very good things about it. So far, so good. LOL!

Just did a round of pressure testing and increased the charge by 1.4 grains with no problems. I'm loading ammo tonight and headed for CMP in the morning.
