Shot F-Class tonight. Got a 147 out of 150 at 300 yards. Got three nines, all the rest 10's with 4 Bulls. The 9's were all close to the 10 lines as well. All with my Savage LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor using AA2700.
Load was 42 grains of AA2700 (take that H4350) behind a 140 grain Berger Match Bullet, Winchester Primer and Hornady Brass. Why 42 grains, because I read the 6.5 likes em hotter and 42 is the max load listed in the manual. Took 10 shots to sight in with initial hit a zero low to the 7 spot. After 10 spotter rounds I made no further adjustments. Wind was gusty to the back at the line and to the right at the 300 line. I was happy with my score tonight. Rifle shoots well. Load is accurate enough.
I had posted before about using AA2700 with the Creedmoor and got a lot of suggestions to use 4350 any type and Reloader 17. I found that AA2700 works pretty good. Had anyone else given it a try?
