    Based solely on the data presented in this video, and of course I realize it is a small sample size, that Kimber has the best bore of all the rifles. For it to produce those 3 shots so close in velocities, that says something about the quality of barrel also. I'd be interested in 20 rounds through that rifle, same lot number Barnes ammo. If it did well, that tells me that's the Barnes ammo is better than I thought and the variety of rifles out there are more the issue and not the ammo. I have several rifles with high end barrels that have controlled factory ammo better than I thought compared to some of my factory production rifles, but the Tikkas still do a great job.
    By the way, new ammo from Barnes:
    152 grain LRX 280 Ackley Improved VORTEX (available now)
    160 grain LRX 7PRC VORTEX (being manufactured but not available yet)
    You cannot buy these bullets in this weight for handloading (yet). Barnes made them exclusively for their ammo.
    Unfortunately for Barnes, the Federal 155 grain Terminal Ascent 280 Ackley Improved ammo is cheaper

    • @AlaskanBallistics
      @AlaskanBallistics  3 месяца назад +1

    Tikka 6.5 CTR Numbers w/ 20 Inch mid contour factory barrel.
    Hornady ELD-X 143Gr 2700 (second highest node) W/ H4350
    I experimented with hand loads with the Hornady CX solids 130Gr, I was able to reach almost 3000 fps using the Hornady Superformance. I suspect if you track some of this stuff down you will find that 128 Barnes break 3000 on most of those platforms, making the expansion from a 6.5 creed much more viable. I planned to revisit this with the 120Gr Cx's but I prefer the performance of the Barnes LRX 127gr for these speeds.
    That combination might just be the sweet spot for solids expanding with this 6.5creed.
    Thanks for the Video!

    I’ve tested the Barnes factory stuff in my 6.5cm t3x superlite against the doubletap 127 lrx load. Both give me about a 0.8-0.9” group, Barnes load at about 2,835 and the doubletap at 2,930 (sd was 14), no signs of excess pressure.

That bullet, at 2,930fps, up at 6k-7,500’ elevation is an awesome deer rifle well past 400yd which is about all I feel my skills are up to.

      That Kimber with a can would be a great stalking setup. My buddy is thinking 6.5prc 20" and a can. He hunts and long range targets with 2 300 Win. Mag. as of now. The lightweight 300 Win. Mag is a carbon fiber barrel, light stock, light scope and it is a tack driver........but even with a really good break brutal on both ends. I figure a 6.5 prc at 20" with a can would give more than likely 6.5 creed 24 inch velocities or around that.

    • @AlaskanBallistics
      @AlaskanBallistics  2 месяца назад +1

      @kentuckywindage222 I don't know. All 6.5prc really need a 26" to achieve factory velocities. He might do better with a 300prc that short

  • @texpatriot8462
    @texpatriot8462 3 месяца назад +1

    How about a velocity test comparing a Tikka vs whatever you can scrounge in the same caliber barrel & length? My Tikka seems slow which I have heard is common.

    • @AlaskanBallistics
      @AlaskanBallistics  3 месяца назад +1

      Well that's because tikka is usually a 22 inch barrel for long action calibers instead of a 24"
      My tikka 270 is about 50fps slow with federal terminal ascent 136gr. Just did a short on it
