Looking for data for  using H4350 and Lapua brass with  130gr Berger AR Hybrid bullets.

Shooting from a Bergara 6.5 creedmoor Ridgeback 24” barrel with 1/8 twist.

Have you checked the Hodgdon web site?


    H4350          35.2 gr 2464 fps  49300 PSI         39.2 gr 2687 fps  60400 PSI

For the 130 gr using a 24" bbl with 1:8 twist.

This is not at all your rifle - or even rifle type - but the 130 Berger AR Hybrid is the choice for a lot of .260 AR-10 shooters (i.e. LaRue PredatOBR), and I get 2713 fps from 41.7gr H4350 and a 22" barrel.  That's about as hot as you can load a gas gun, but with a bolt gun and 24" barrel, it'll be a lot more capable of higher velocities.  

FWIW, the 140 Berger Hybrid is a "superior" bullet ballistically speaking.  The 130 is no slouch, but if you hadn't bought the bullets yet, it may be worth considering the 140s.  With H4350 in a 6.5CM, I can get over 2900 fps in a 24" bolt gun.  I don't because the next node down at 2810 fps is good enough for my purposes.


ETA:  Both of the above are with Lapua Brass.

140 hybrids are oos everywhere right now.

Call Berger and ask for some load data they will give you what’s in their manual plus and new loads they’ve been testing.

I’m running the 130’s at over 2900 now in my 26” and over 2800 in my 22” but my load is way over max at 2.83.

I’m wondering if I could use the 130s in my PWS 6.5 Creedmoor? If so could I use Varget with the 130s?

You might be pushing it with Varget and the 130’s its a bit fast for that. It can work really well with 120 gr bullets.

StaBall 6.5 is a new ball powder that is giving really nice speeds with 130+ bullets and it’s in stock a bit more often than H powders.
