Does anyone have any experience with reloader 26 in the 6.5 Creedmoor? I had been reading a lot on other forums and decided to take my first dive into load development that didn't directly follow a load manual. I am loading for the 143 ELD-X with Hornady brass in a Ruger American Predator. I started waaay low to be on the safe side and slowly worked up to 47.1 grains watching for pressure signs on each shot. Most places I had read were loading up above 49 grains.
Once I got past the initial loads, the last two average 2780 fps and 2804 fps! They were only 3 shot groups to start, but the last one had less than half an inch of vertical dispersion at 200 yards with two shots touching. I didn't see any primer flow and there were no ejector marks on the brass.
Am I way off base here or does this line up with what other folks are seeing? It seems to follow the trend I'm seeing on other forums, but I thought I'd check here for any feedback. Thanks!
