6.5 creedmore load info

I'm curious as to what powder has shown the best results for you guys in a 6.5 creedmoor? Planning on using the Berger 140s and 123 Amaxs have you noticed any one powder that lends itself easier to achieve good sd es and accuracy?

H4350 has works best for me.
RE17 or Hybrid 100 will get you more velocity but less accuray and consistency.
The new Superformance powder would be a good one to try, I havn't yet.

4350 has worked very well for me shooting 139 Scenars and 140 Amax's.

In my chamber the 140vld's would have to be loaded longer than my AICS mag would allow to feed w/o hickups, 2.897 OAL kissing the lands.

Forgot to add that is with 140 JLK and 140 Amax bulets.

Might want to do a search on here with the correct spelling (probably turn up more results): 6.5 Creedmoor

Also... check out www.65creedmoor.com . Much lower traffic, but pretty much dedicated to one and only one cartridge...

Sounds Like I'll start with 4350 and see what happens!

I'll go see what they're saying over there.
Thanks fellas

I am getting good results with about 41.9 grains of H414 along with the 140 gr Hunting VLD. Best five shot group out of my DPMS at 100 yards is 0.309 inches. That was with an ambient temp of about 40 degrees. Velocity was in the 2680 range.

 

[headhunter1111]

414? No joke? Hmm... I probably never would have thought of that. I might give it a try someday.

 

[bowslngr]

Yeah, I was kind of surprised too. First powder I tried when my new batch of 140 grain VLDs were finally delivered. I don't think you can go wrong with H4350 either though.

I have also had my most accurate results with H4350 and either Lapua 139's or Berger 140 VLD's. Either Fed or CCI match primers, I can't see a difference in my rifle. Re-17 was disapointing to me, wider ES and less accuracy.
