Most Hornady (different loads/products), Winchester and Federal. I was going to start with some of that. <br /><br />I'm not sure (and in the other room from it), but I think it's all based on large primers. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-40501377134798889102018-04-06T17:04:34.822-04:002018-04-06T17:04:34.822-04:00For your Creedmoor: try 41.5 grains of H4350, full...For your Creedmoor: try 41.5 grains of H4350, full-length-sized Starline small primer brass, Federal GMM small rifle primers and Sierra 140 grain Match Kings, seated to 2.812".

Of course, I was unsure, and figured as soon as I bought anything else, the H4350 would become available and it did. <br /><br />Not that I know beyond a doubt that it will be best in my rifle, just that it was "the new hotness", as the kids say. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-60661792891354300822018-04-06T09:13:08.556-04:002018-04-06T09:13:08.556-04:00I'd call it soft shooting.

I took my .308 Scout rifle to the range a few weeks ago and had forgotten how much harder .308 kicks. <br /><br />6.5 CM in the RPR feels more like .223.

The next year we were down visiting family and had the idea to take the kids to one of the attractions down there. We literally couldn't stand the heat/humidity. Had to get into the car and turn on the A/C. <br /><br />Down there you have a constant cap of high humidity. The Gulfstream is less than a mile offshore, and the Everglades is to the west. We have less humidity, but still way too much. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-53730831457375921002018-04-05T08:08:31.579-04:002018-04-05T08:08:31.579-04:00I could probably do a hundred pages on this.
