6 Creedmoor Load Data Needed

[brianc74]

I am looking for any load recipe that might be out there for the 6 Creedmoor . Looking for 70 grain up to 115 grain. I am shooting a Krieger 21", 1-8 twist, 4 groove on a full custom build.

Thanks for your help

If you want published data I don't know that you will find any. If it were me I would use 6mmXC data as I believe the case volume to be very similar and both cartridges use a large rifle primer.

My buddy has one that loves 105 grain vld's and H4350. I don't know how much H4350 he is using but that combo shoots great in his 22" 1 in 8 twist barrel

George Gardner told me when I had my 6 creedmoor build, 42.0 h4350 behind a 105 hybrid.... Shot lights out for me

Hodgdon has data for the 6.5mm version, not the 6mm.

What I load is 41.8grs H4350, 105Hybrids .015" off the lands, that load gives me single digit ES. Shoots like this @300yds. http://i.imgur.com/ZhwIxdO.jpg

1:7.5 twist; 28" 108 BT Bergers H4350@41.5 Vel 3000, 0.005 off lands, shoots lights out.

41.5 to 42.2 gr H4350 behind a 105 hybrid produces excellent results.

What kind of COAL are you guys running? Im 0.010" off the lands and only at a 2.720" COAL. Seems short to me.

George didn't provide this info to me but it is where I found paradise. This load shoots great, doesn't hurt Hornady brass (at least mine) and is very flat shooting. After break-in my 7.5 twist Bartlein was showing 3165 FPS and centered targets at 1,000 yards with only a 6.7 mil elevation (100 yard zero). Now, after about 500 rounds, the accuracy is still there but velocity has fallen to just under the 3100 mark. Last time out I needed another .2 mil to get centered.

6 creed holds 2 more grains of powder.

What bullet you shooting, Marine? My oal is 2.770" for the new DTACs, .136fb.

 

[DaveMarine1]

42 gr H4350 .010 off the lands. Perfect

 

[Ironworker]

What about a 87gr V-max,any suggested load ? 26"bbl 8" twist

Since 87grs is 18grs less than 105 going up 2grs from a 105 load should be about right, therefore, 43.4gr and up should work. I shot some 87HP a few years ago but I probably used 42.5grs, the primers showed not even a hint of high pressure and they shot pretty good, too.

I'm shooting the 105gr VLD hunting bullets. They work great and i am pushing 3000fps in a 20" barrel with no issues but it just seamed like a short OAL but it seems to be working nicely.

I have a 26 inch Bartlien 1:7.5 and my short range load (<800 yards) is Nosler RDF 105 with 40 or 42 of RL17 (3000 and 3180 fps respectively) and long range is DTAC 115 coated with 46 of RL26 (3180 fps). Both have accuracy .25 MOA or below.
