Any experience would be greatly recieved. I may give them a try in my .260Rem barrel which is a 26" long 1-8.5" twist.
I suppose I could load them down to match the velocity they would give at 300...

Cant remember sorry, it was a download from the net about 10 years ago but has been a fav of mine.
P/M me your email addy and Ill sent you the A4 jpeg

Another quick loading and range session today with two new projectiles. I picked up a box of Hornady 147gr ELD Match bullets and decided to give the 139gr Lapua Scenars a go too as I have quite a lot...

Thanks for the PM Marc, I made a typo in my write up, looking back in my range book the velocity for the 143gr is 2801 av not 2891fps

So 5 rounds of each loaded I did the 100 meter paper work..

Round two of my 6.5 Creedmoor journey.
I re-chambered a 20" long 1-8" twist light profile Trueflite Ultra Match barrel in creed for my Desert Tech SRS A1 rifle the was previously chambered in...

I loaded the last three and seated them back another 50 thou so 60 thou jump to lands which cycle through the mag perfectly.
Take it for what it is (3 round group) but they didnt shoot any worse...

I dont have a lot of trigger time with Bergers, I ran them in my .338 Whisper as 300gr subs but that about the extent of my experience with this brand. The info I got was general online consensus and...

Big thanks to Gibo for the 130gr Berger VLD hunting bullet samples!
Loaded a few up today for testing. From what Ive been told and what I have read this Berger bullet design likes to be seated very...

Puffin Yes I went back to find what you said in your post and I think that may have contributed for sure. However this brass is on its 6th load (anneald on the 5th) and I would have thought to see...

I have.. the old batch gets similar velocity but high pressure signs on brass and sticky bolt lifts.

Well after a couple of test loads of the new batch 2209 can safely say tht it was my other batch of 2209 that was giving me the pressure spikes. Very interesting and not something Ive ever seen to...

Yip can looks great! Id say RL16 will be the winner in your 20" tube too. Mine loves the 130gr TMKs and 136gr Scenars but will be testing some 130gr vlds this week.
Post your results here as Id...

No one sells it.. I bought it all before posting this thread mwaa ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa...:D

To be honest I selected RL16 to shoot the 130gr TMKs fast in a relatively short 20" tube.. if your...

Thank you all for you contribution to this thread.

I have a new batch of 2209 to pick up on monday to do some load development on a friends .260 Rem so will try a few more loads in mine to see if...

Nope.. been a lot of fun :thumbsup:

Got out to the range today and set up for some more test loads. I had to shoot from 110yds as my 100yd prone location was a mud pit after the rain.

I loaded up a few rounds of the 143gr ELDX in...

El cheapo Frankford arsenal digital scale but similar results. The Peterson case is about 4gr heavier than the Lapua brass and held 0.8gr less water.

I cant recall that sorry and I didnt write down.. they are all loaded up along with some Lapua brass with 41.5gr of 2209 and 143gr ELDX for testing.. Ill be back from the range in a couple of hours...

Yes sorry.. brain fart.. too many late nights... yes CCI BR-4.

No I havent revisited the 2209 at all since I got such great results with the RL16. Im off to punch some paper with it shortly so...

A very likely theory, I didnt measure the virgin brass before the first firing and compare it to resized dimensions but that is very likely. However I fired about half that virgin brass with 2208 and...

Thank you for those OAL figures buddy, that goes to confirm my theory of various throat lengths from the various manufacturers.
I can now make sense of how you fit larger 2209 charges without the...

The final chapter in my story (not likely to be a sequel;)) was addressing the bullets over all length with the hope to gain back some more space in the case it was getting apparent to me that all of...

Its interesting to me to hear about others experience with ADI 2209.. only a very light load of it shot remotely well ( MOA or better) in my rifle. I also favoured the 2208 over it as I knew it not...
