[QUOTE="Tcox, post: 2851774, member: 10058"] I began some load development today on my 6.5 creedmoor. Here are some specs: Remington 700 long action 28" benchmark barrel 1-8 twist Timney trigger McMillan stock Night force 20moa rail Vortex PST 6-24 This rifle was build by Norbert Costa at sure shot. I began with loading 143 hornady ELD-x projectiles, hornady new brass, CCI benchrest primers, and various powders (rl-17, h4350, superformance). For now, I just loaded at standard COAL 2.80 and hope to play with depth after I get a few contestants. My rifle seemed to like the hotter loads... Literally the hotter the load, the better it got until I started seeing pressure signs. My groups are much tighter when I see signs. Infact, once I see the first pressure signs, my group shrank from 1/4 Minute to one ragged hole. The signs were primers flattening and some very minor cratering. My best load was pushing the 143 gr pill at 2800~ Fps according to data. Would you guys find a different load, or would it bother you to have flat primers/minor cratering for your everyday, finished product load?
