I have been playing with some new loads on the 6.5 Creedmoor with the 140 grain ELD-M bullet trying to get more speed out of the round. The challenge is getting more speed without creating a high pressure load. I also wanted to use a match grade, temp stable powder (i.e. Not a R17 powder). I found the load! 2780 fps in a 20" barrel and 2870 fps in a 24" barrel. So, now, what do I call it? What do I call this Hot Rod round? I want to differentiate this hotter round from my normal match 6.5 CM load with H4350. Hot Rod Load? Lightening Load? Give me some ideas!

True that! Would that be trade marked? Could I use that, legally speaking? I don't know.

Didn't you and I have a 'Ricky Bobby' conversation just the other day Chad? Yes!!! But I'm working up a load for the Ricky Bobby shooters. Why? Because they will buy it! But if you can get a load that shoots good, and goes fast, it's a win win! Right!!?? We'll see!

I'm thinking of getting off of the 88 grain bullet for that .22 CM and look for a 200 grain that I can put too much powder behind and pop a few more primers. g

A new faster loading that still provides match accuracy... sounds like you should quit making the slower 4350 loading and convert to this. Marketing them separately sounds hokey to me.

If they deliver the same accuracy why would you want the slower loading?

All things are not created equal. One is going to shoot better than the other from rifle to rifle.

AND now you buy both to see which shoots best.....
