While putting our house back together after a water leak, I found a 100 loaded 6.5 Creedmoor rounds with Noler's 140 RFD bullets. I must have loaded these a couple years ago when I got the 6.5.
I went to the Nosler website and looked at the load data that they show for that bullet and the most accuracy is at a velocity of 2,480 FT/Sec. I find that strange because that is the lower velocity they have listed and when I load Hornady 140 ELDs, I am trying to get close to 2,700 FT/sec.
Would pull the bullets and bump up the velocity or send them the way they are?
I did a ballistic check on the app and at 500 yards, there is about 1 MOA difference.

Their results, not in your rifle.

Shoot them to see how they group. If they are not good enough, pull them and start over.
