Look up secret South Carolina load. Not much of a secret, many 6.5 shooters have used H4831 long before the Creedmoor came out. But they did stumble on a good powder choice. N160 or N165 and Hybrid 100V would be excellent choices also.

tar mate i have the carolina secret....just got to get the oval seated right...

fxdwg you must explain to this illiterate hill billy what a tar mate is and, what seating the oval means. Do you do the oval seating next to the billabong? The slower powders i mentioned may work better in a longer barrel, but i don't know how long a hawkeye is.

I would stick with printed data for a beginner.

Get the hang of handloading. Stay within printed data parameters until your handloading knowledge grows beyond the basics.
34 to 36 gr of ar2208 sounds good to me.

lol..hahahaha..... tar ....is a short slang for ... thank you ..... in australian.

sorry the slip of the fingers on the keyboard.... oval ...... i mean the seating depth ...the length of a bullet ( projectile ) seated inside the cartridge case.

right now and for a few days it's raining cats and dogs here.... so i think that i'll be sitting a little ways of from the billabong.

...tar mate for your input...... the 6.5 cm m77 ruger hawkeye is 24" barrel.

I’m not a creedmoor guy, but looked this up just to what our good friends at Sierra had to say on the subject.

Welcome to the forum.

I used to keep some ADI literature laying around to make sure I didn't confuse the names after Hodgdon changes them. Can't lay my hands on it at the moment, but noticed that ADI has a page with something similar. Just FYI for folks who find themselves needing some translations.

http://www.adiworldclass.com.au/powder-equivalents/

ADI 2208 - Varget
ADI 2209 - H4350
ADI 2213SC - H4831
ADI 2217 - H1000

The Hodgdon Reloading web site lists loads based on caliber and bullets. It isn't always an issue if they don't list something, but in some examples it might be a clue that your combination might need more investigation to see if it may be a mismatch.

A few loads pop up for Varget and H4350 with a 140 grain bullet, but not your specific one. Here is what does show. Good Luck!
