Ready to collect mo data on 6.5 creedmoor

Its really pretty easy to tell. The pointed end helps guide the bullet into the case mouth for seating. However, a boat tail bullet is tapered on both ends making it universal.

One size fits all. How novel. Maybe a round shell is the next step in evolution.

Does the pointy end or the flat end of the bullet go in the shell case?

I wonder if that's how wadcutters were invented (or discovered?)...

My savage 10t like the 143 eldx with a .020 jump and a warm load of h4350. 42grains with starline brass and br2 primers. Just a bit over max load per hornady book no pressure signs in this particular rifle with that load though

Finally went a shot some more reloads today. I had 10 different loads and these 4 are the ones I'll play with more for now. I'm sure it's mostly pilot error but these 4 do outshoot the Hornady Match factory ammo for me so it's gotta be worth something. These were shot a 100yds today with a few mins cooldown between different loads but each 5 shot group was shot back to back just far enough apart to put the empty in the box and put a live one in the chamber.

Nice you are getting out and trying some loads.
I had some RL15 and it did well.
I loaded it in 30-06. The recoil was more of a push than a quick kick vs Varget or IMR4064.
Just something I noticed.

That RL15 looks promising. I think I have a can of it around. Might try it out. It’s raining here and I really need to get out and test some reduced 7.62x54 before a match next week. Having some range withdrawals!

I'd concentrate on that h100v load, maybe speed it up a little faster.

Fastest load I tested also had the lowest SV for what it's worth.
IMR4350 41.5gr with the Hornady 140 eldM

I did have one load avg 2888 but I only got 2 of the 5 shots on chrono so I won't put too much stock in it.
