Bergara HMR 6.5CM 123gr ELDM Load Data & OAL

[CZp-01]

Anybody loading for a Bergara HMR 6.5CM with 123gr Eldm? The throat on this rifle is a mile long...lol I started working on loads for it today. Just getting some velocity and pressure signs. What are you using for an OAL?

This is a multi target with my RPR 6.5CM. Disregard first target my zero was off.
Target is marked for reference. 100 Yards

Would you run with the RPR load and call it a day?

What kind of scopes are those on your rifle? The 42.7gr load looks great out of the bargera.

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing on that load. 42.5 did better over the chrono, but didn't do well on paper.. They are Vortex Razors HD 5-20

Very nice set ups. Sometimes I take the paper results over the chrono results.

Thank you! I'll run them again and see if changes any.
