Bull basin archery all the way. They will take care of you. Worth the drive.

Still have the 6.5cm brass?

Nice!

I was able to get out and test some loads. Found that my browning x bolt likes the 41.0 grains of H4350 backed by a federal premium gold match primer. I was impressed with the grouping at 100yds being around 0.475". No signs of pressure stress on the brass which I was happy about. Im not an excellent shooter, but I am very impressed with this load. The ladder loading is the only way to load when testing new powder. Next step now is to load a few more, repeat 100 yards and see how 200 yards handles. Additionally, need to get the chrono and see how much faster these are flying vs the factory loads. Last question to you all, what is your thoughts on cleaning primer pockets? do you clean them and the flash hole? Neither?

Well today I found some h4350 in flagstaff. Ca ranch had 4lbs of it. I loaded six different loads ranging from 40.5 to 41.5. Used federal premium large rifle match with some once fired hornaday brass. Didn’t want to toss it so hoping to get some good results with it. Maybe one of these days when the wind stops blowing I will be able to go test them out

Thanks lance. I have been hearing about people going either way on this topic but I think I will stick with large rifle. I would like to mimic the 143 eldx precision hunter as much as possible. Does the srp/lrp make a difference on FPS, burn rate, or accuracy? What’s the pros and cons of using lrp over srp?

Lance what size is the correct sized primer for the H4350 in regards to small or large rifle?

I found this on another forum. Do these numbers verify what you guys have been seeing in your performance? Supposedly these numbers are from hornaday. This is from a 24” barrel. What would a 26” barrel do to the speed?

Lance and couespursuit what primers with those loads? My guess is both with superformance?

Thanks lance. I have a 26” barrel so that should help with the stability. I don’t have a bunch of LRP brass, but enough once fired to make it count for now. The hard part is finding some h4350 on the shelf now

If you come across the load data let me know. Taking note of all this information to test out

Never have loaded the superformance before. Always have wanted to try it. Most people are saying that h4350 is a great powder for these 6.5. What speeds were you getting with the superformance?

Thanks guys. This is great information. I moved not too long ago so I’m having to build a new reloading bench. I’m hoping to be up and running by this Saturday. Sounds like the h4350 is the closest to the hunter precision rounds that Hornady sells. Anyone shooting an x bolt long range with these reloads?

K. Actually reloading some Hornady brass so I will have to check on it

Ya I got the OAL size. What size primers? Small rifle or large rifle?

What are you running your case length at?

Any idea what primers are being used in these loads? I have heard different stories

Looking for recommendations on where to camp at escudilla. Haven’t spent any time there and want to go over for three or four days for a little scouting and hiking with the family.

Have you used these loads?

Yes sir I have access to one

Yeah I have checked that out. Wondering if those numbers and calcs are what people are using.

Thanks guys. We will check it out!
