I'll leave the barrel burning experimenting to the young'uns. Plus I'm not that good of a rifleman to hold the rifle perfect 30 times and pull one and say the load is wrong.

Now my Fairbanks Custom 6.5 Creed will shoot much better than me. It took one whole load to find the noode

Buzz, maybe this would help you? confused2

I would agree if he hadn’t already bought the bullets.

^ Here's your key. Solids have to be spun FAST. My guess is that your twist rate is too slow. You may be able to make some of that up by throwing them harder.

He WANTS 42.4 gr to work! When it doesn't work, the bullet is poop. Why would you suggest he try a different powder charge from 42.4 gr. That's just silly!

It's not the lack of twist rate causing an accuracy issue. The 2 bullets he is shooting are the 120 MTH and the 130 MTH. With his 1:8" twist, the 120 MTH has a stability factor of 1.63 and the 130 MTH is 1.39. The 1.39 is still plenty stable, and would not be the cause of it shooting bad.

I have not set up my 6.5 dies yet, but I have all the components. As soon as I have time, I'll get everything set up and start loading. Buzzsaw, Thanks for saving me a lot of time working up loads. I'll just go with 42.4 grains and it should work perfectly. Thanks!

Quoted: "“10 Round Load Development Ladder Test”. This is a load development approach he has refined to quickly identify accuracy nodes with only 10 rounds. Additional cartridges are then loaded to test and confirm these accuracy nodes."

So, the big print gives it to you, and the small print takes it away. You still haven't found your load yet in 10 rounds.

In a perfect world, this method may work, but it still takes more than 10 rounds to find your load. Secondly, and this is a big one... This method doesn't help you if you have a rifle issue. You can test for only velocity all day long, but if the rifle has a bedding issue or other problem that causes fliers or bad accuracy, you won't know it until you shoot for groups. I see many rifles that have an issue with bedding or other problem causing an accuracy issue. You can not find this problem without shooting old fashion groups.
