This video explores pushing the limits of 6.5 Creedmoor loads with Hodgdon H4350 and Hornady 143gr ELD-X bullets, exceeding published data. Testing revealed that charge weights up to 43.4 grains are achievable in a Thompson Center Compass with Starline brass and CCI 450 primers, showing consistent performance despite increased pressure signs like ejector marks. The host emphasizes understanding pressure indicators beyond primer appearance, noting that bolt fit can cause cratering.
