luckily I gots 10#'s hidden somewhere


Hornady load for 6.5CM was 41.5gr H4350 with the 140gr AMAX, current ELDX/M loads they will not say what powder they use, just that H4350 works well.


6.5 CM and H4350 go together like PB&J. That was Hornady's old load, which with the recent lots of H4350 is actually pretty anemic, though well above book max. Obviously you would want to work up the load starting below book max and watching for pressure, but I'm well above that in MY rifle, with MY lot of powder.


What's your pressure?

Couldn't tell you, but I've got over a thousand rounds down the tube with no issues.. No primer flow, cratering or flattening. No ejector marks or swipes. No sticky bolt lift. And primer pockets are still tight after four firings.

Ammoseek finds zero but it's still listed on their site (Hodgdon). You would do well to forget about it for now.

For a while Hornady was using Hybrid 100 in the Creedmoor according to anonymous sources.
That's about the time they quit putting data on the ammo boxes. If you call Hornady and record the the message they have for customer service then play in backwards you get the current load they are using. whistle
