[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3267216, member: 15054"] Yep I recorded my velocity on this Creedmoor. But this time around I used Virgin Brass that was resized and some die formed .308 cases that had not filled out the shoulders yet. I will get back to it with this 1 time fired brass as I have found it shoots a tick better than Virgin stuff. Even Lapua right out of the box in .308 shot in my .308's shoots better on round 2. I had loaded 45.0 and 45.5 gr on Federal and Lapua cases on 6.5 CR. My velocity 1st shot of the day clean barrel 45.0gr with a slight crimped case because my die was not set correctly. 2973 fps. next 2 of the same load NO crimp 2933 and 2938 fps. That was the best of the day for that gun. First shot was high and left by 2" and next 2 shots were right beside each other horizontally 1/2" apart. Rest of the loads were 2" to 4" junk. 200 yards. I read on a forum today a guy called Hornady and talked with them about the 123 ELD M bullets and said he was having a really hard time making them shoot good. Hornady told him "Make them Jump" Said .030 to 1.30" was what many shooters were telling Hornady that worked well for them with the ELD M bullets. He began seating them deeper and groups kept getting tighter and tighter. I may need to revisit the 4064 powder and seat deeper. H4350 fills the case to a point I may be able to get the first load seated to jump them .030" as of now I am at .005". [/QUOTE]
