Any good 6.5 Creedmore AR-10 loads?
- Thread starter fatelvis
- Start date
One of my Best loads for the 6.5 creed is, the 130 gr ELD-M at, 2,850 fps, using 43.3 grains of StaBall 65 Powder.
( COAL is 2.830",.. F-210- Match Prs )
( Thrown Chg's ) 24 inch Tikka, 1-8 twist, 5 shot, accuracy from 1/2 MOA down to 3 shot, "Clover Leaf's @ 100 yds. ( Dependent ON,.. Me ! ). Hogdon Powder Co has, Data ( 44.5 is Max. chg.,.. IIRC ).
43.1 grs of StaBall 65 works Well with the 143 ELD-X Bulet IF wanting a "Tougher" Bullet for Deer / Elk But, didn't shoot qiute as "Tight" at, 5/8th MOA ( I Have done NO "Tuning" with, this Bullet, tho ! )

In a AR Platform you may Need to use, a "Harder" Cupped, CCI Primer, tho And experiment with, COAL's.
I used both Peterson and Lapua, Lge Primer Brass, w/ SAME Accuracy.

Based on my experience, unless you have an adjustable gas block/heavy buffer or both (I don't) , you will have to drop back 1.5-2 grains in an AR-10 platform from bolt action loads, unless you want to seriously abuse the brass. I am not an expert on AR platforms. I had pressure issues / pretty good marks on the case heads with both Sierra and Hornady factory ammo. That being said, I had really good luck with 140 Hornady BTHP and a moderate load of H4350 in Hornady brass, which was cheap and available. I took this out to 750 yards with reasonable accuracy. 1-8 twist on an Aero build that I purchased
