Thread: 6.5 Creedmoor, 143gr ELDX & Superformance

For some context - hornady book max is 44.7gr ~ 2800fps in a 24" bbl & hodgdon is 45.8gr for 2800fps. My rifle is a 24" 1/8 Tikka & i ran a ladder all the way up to 48.5gr which gave an average of 2971fps, very faint swipe on the brass at that, bolt still nice to lift. Way above and beyond the suggested book max for both charge and suggested speed yet the brass is suggesting things are fine at 48gr & 2950fps. Shot .4 moa at this too.

Im a bit baffled because 1 - its way above and beyond what it should be able to do, and 2 - its going faster than my 6.5 PRC current load with the same projectile (albeit the prc load isnt overly greedy and is with 2217).

Hi I have run Hodgdon superproformance in the Creedmoor and .260 it's a bloody good powder.
I'm getting 2810fps with the 143 ELDX in Laupa SRP cases and same speed in Danny's Tikka .260 with same combo
