Hello. fellow children. I'm Kyle Broderick. Welcome to the new, kinder, gentler Social
Regressive I want to extend a warm welcome to the Commissars that will be
watching this video and I want to assure them that I will be adhering to
YouTube's new guidelines as vague as those may be, Susan Wojcicki's name be
praised. I will not actually be teaching the way to
compile loads; I'll just be showing some of the equipment that I used and
some of the results and hopefully that's good enough. If there are any adults in
the room, I recommend that they actually leave this video now and go to my
Patreon page. I'll put a link in the description below. That will actually
have the full video where I describe how I did everything you see here, because
believe me: you're going to want to see how I ended up with some of these groups
that I got here. Not only are they tight, but the velocity standard deviations are
incredibly tight. I'll be releasing two videos on 6.5 Creedmoor loads. One
will be for subsonics featuring Hodgdon Trail Boss and then this one that we're
doing today is showing off Alliant Reloder 16. These are going to be
supersonic and it's going to be highlighting three different bullets.
We'll be showing off some Speer Hot-Cor 140 grain; these are flat-base spire-point
bullets. We have Hornady ELD Match which are
going to be really really slick - again, 140 grain, and then we have the one that
I'm gonna be working with most because you know you can see I actually have the
most bullets Hornady BTHP Match these are also 140 grains so we have similar
weights going on in all of these but we're going to be demonstrating Alliant
Reloder 16 powder which as far as I can tell in my testing is just
phenomenal powder I can see why it's getting some good press out there I
picked this stuff up because I wanted to test out some of the capabilities that
people were talking about they were saying that it was able to print you
know the really tight groups that you see from other excellent powders like
say with Varget or whatever - H-4350 - but that what this does is it decreases the
the variations that you're going to get as temperatures increase I've seen some
charts out there to show how velocities change with different temperature
increases and it seems to be very very stable stuff probably the most
temperature insensitive powder that I've seen yet I'm gonna actually be testing
this at various temperatures as the year progresses and we'll come back and take
a look but for now we're just going to take a look at the the performance of
some of the stuff that we've loaded this is a tale with some unexpected
twists and turns I was expecting to go into this using my usual techniques and
again I won't be discussing those techniques really in this video since
YouTube isn't going to like that and you're gonna want to see the full video
to see what I actually did but we will be able to talk kind of top level and
show what some of the differences were the equipment that I use for creating
these loads begins with the RCBS full-length sizer die then it moves over
to the RCBS trim Pro - I chose CCI br-2 primers
injected with this Lee priming tool and then to get the correct powder charges I
use the RCBS charge master light finally I see that the bullets using the RCBS
cedar die if you want to simply next size your brass I recommend the Lee call
it neck sizer these things work very well and they seem to do a great job of
extending the life of your brass over time I can't show you the journey but I
can at least show you the destination with the spear hot core bullets I got
some pretty decent results starting out so we're looking at less than 1 MOA on
this guy pretty much right exactly a 1 MOA with this on this one accidentally
hit the wrong target so I had to mark this one right here but yeah we are
still hovering around 1 MOA and then things really tightened up on group
number 4 this one came in almost at a half inch point six four that's gonna
that's gonna be my choice right there this one is gonna be really good because
things start to open up a little bit more on some of these others 23 and then
1.2 right there the spear bullets should make for a perfectly adequate hunting
load actually better than adequate I think should group tight and be able
to hit game really really far away now let's move on to some match-grade stuff
so we're using the Hornady eld match 140 grain and let's see how things start out
actually before I go to this first group I got to show you this this is
The Cider group and if you want to find out what in the world happened with this
load and why some peculiar things are happening you you got to go check out
the the video that I put on patreon because it's going to indicate some
pretty strange things and how I arrived at much much better groups but I can at
least hint that them here okay so we're looking at over an MOA for the first
group point eight nine things significantly tightened up right here
we did get some horizontal dispersion and again I'm not sure if that's windage
there was some wind going on that day things were kind of switching back and
forth so it could have been the cause but yeah overall vertically very tight
which is what a lot of guys look for over here on group four point eight five
still sub em away but not blowing my mind
group five seven ten and then group six things are opening up kind of
predictably as they get into those higher pressures on to the Hornady b th
p match one hundred forty grain bullet these things have worked well in other
rifles that i've fired and let's see how these things do first off let's take a
look at that cider group again and you can see that okay again we have two
super tight groups and one that's a little bit of a flyer and we get to
group number one things open up again almost 1 MOA still hovering a little bit
on the high side Group three is shrinking a little bit in some ways this
is 0.9 and then finally on group number four we're getting more down toward a
half-inch group five seven ten and then yeah things stay kind of high so I
wasn't really SuperDuper impressed with my initial loads and I had to make
a change to find out what that change is you will have to go to that patreon
video just because YouTube hates our guts but I'm going to show you the
results at least same bullet also a no CW load that I cooked up using quick
load and let's see what the difference is we're starting out definitely sub MOA
we move on to slate larger but still nice and tight this is
the biggest group that we got just a little bit over 1 MOA group 4 is
shrinking things considerably half inch
0.46 there's a sixth group that's the second largest one and then this last
one is just freaky 0.39 I like this a lot
not the tightest group I've ever printed with a rifle my 243 I've gotten some
tighter stuff but come take a look at the velocities here's more information
on these groups their sizes the velocity and the standard deviation and you can
see that all of these came in below 10 feet per second standard deviation and
that is just nuts every single one of these I could basically pick one of
these and still end up with a really good group because I mean even the
biggest one is just slightly over 1 MOA if I choose from my best 3 we're looking
at less than 5 feet per second standard deviation difference and yeah this one
below is 2 but yeah I think I'm gonna go with this kind of higher speed one
because I'm not losing it I'm definitely not losing anything as far as group size
it's it's definitely hitting that that barrel node just fine and it has a
really small SD but if I wanted to back things off a little bit I could grab
these two as well rate loaders are a finicky Bunch once we find a perfect
load we're gonna drive them into the ground trying to make them even
perfect her and I'm not going to do that with this this is really as good as I
could hope for maybe I can get tighter groups but consider that the rifle that
I'm firing it out of is actually not broken in yet I probably only have about
150 rounds through this thing maybe a little bit more but yeah this thing is
breaking in and those groups will shrink mostly I am just shocked by not only the
combination of how tight the groups are but those standard deviations of
velocity those are nuts I've never expected to be able to see that in any
of the loads that I ever put together I'm super happy if I'm around
twelve you know maybe if something dips below ten that's awesome but every
single one of these loads in that hole work up that I did came out under 10
feet per second standard deviation that is that's just crazy I'm really
happy with how this performs and unless this thing starts performing poorly in
one particular rifle because I have another couple of 6.5 Creedmoor rifles
and I'm gonna be testing out then yeah I'm not gonna mess with it one of those
rifles will be testing out is the CM mg mark 3 DTR 2 in 6.5 Creedmoor that has a
24 inch heavy barrel it's going to be just a monster I think and we're
concocting some individual challenges for that that are gonna showcase its
talents we're looking at some speed drills we're looking at an unknown
distance challenge that kind of gets us on target a little bit quicker moving
targets and of course we're gonna be testing these loads out at long
range like we did with the seven millimeter oh eight project rifle this
is a hit right here at 1450 1.3 yards you can go back and view that video and
we're gonna continue to stretch things out using 6.5 Creedmoor as well I hope
to be able to get these things out to a mile if you want to see the full video
