I'm shooting a Ruger American. The reason I'm chasing High FPS is to try for the DRT. I'm also going to aim for the high shoulder shot as well. I'm an old guy w/bad legs and just can't hunt like I used to. No more long drags. I think the 130gr Acubond might be the way to go. Ranges are short...
I have Fed 210M and Fed 215 Mag. My thinking was with a mag primer I would get a more complete powder burn with RL26. To get those speeds I may have to go to a 130gr
I'm shooting a 20 inch barrel 6.5 Creed, getting 2550 fps w/ the Hornady factory 143gr ELDX. I want to load the 140 gr Nosler BT w/ RL26. I'm wondering if a LR mag primer would help get me the velocity I'm looking for (2700/2800 fps). Any input would be appreciated.
49 .284 145 gr Speer Hot Core $15
120+/- 140 gr .264 Sierra Game King $20 SPF
100 Hornady .264 143 gr ELDX $28 SPF
42 .358 220 gr Speer Hot Core FN $15 SPF
Looking to trade these for .264 129 - 140 gr BT or AB. I would also be interested in .264 130 gr Sierra Game Changers and .358 180 gr Speer...
I just got a new Ruger American Compact(20" barrel) in 6.5 Creed. Looking for max loads using: RL26, IMR4350 and RL17
143 gr ELD X
2.812 COL
Fed 210 Match
Elev 350 ft.
Thank you I appreciate it as this will be a big help
Thinking about trying out my 22-250 for deer hunting here in Maine. Will use the 64 gr Bonded flatnose at 3620 fps. Where would be the best place to hold,lung shot or neck shot.
