[QUOTE="7stw, post: 2988050, member: 18402"] Have done some load testing. Velocity is a little disappointing but I've made a new batch with some different powder. The hornady factory match was around Moa. Test loads with h4350 and the 105's where 3/4 Moa varget was a little better. But velocity with both was lackluster honestly. I loaded some sierras but haven't tested them yet. If I can't find a better accuracy and velocity load soon I'm going to rebarrel it in 22cm. I know the six creed is wildly popular with prs guys but my initial thoughts on the cartridge aren't that positive. Really doesn't do anything a .243 win won't do. Maybe have it reamed for ackley to gain some velocity. I have some loads with a powder I couldn't find any published data on but have used in 243 case capacity and some math gave me a starting point and will see what the 105's do. Have some test loads with several lighter bullets and varget made up as well. Maybe the lighter blitzkings or 95 tipped match kings will work. I ordered a swaro 3.5-18 with the outdoorsmans turret but until I find something satisfying velocity and accuracy wise that's acceptable to me I'm gonna wait to mount it on this perplexing rifle.
