Factory ammo in 6.5 creedmoor

[wboggs]

Has anyone used the Berger 144gr load? Wonder how it compares with the Hornady 147.
Thanks

Don't know what you are shooting for a gun.

When someone buys a 6.5 CM for my employer I always recommended Hornady 140 ELD Match for factory loaded ammo.

My 6.5 shoots Hornady' ELD 140 match reloads the best.

Tried Berger Hybred Target but could not get a group like the Hornady's at 600 and 1000 yds.

Good luck.

Thanks for your feedback.
I know all rifles are individual but my buddy likes factory and I'm too busy to do the load development

Not familiar with the Factory loads but the 144 gr. Berger Hyb. LR on top of H-4350 in Lapua brass was an easy button for a close friend of mine. 27 rounds down the tube and I had him shooting under 1/4 MOA. He just ordered 500 ct. last week when they became available at Midsouth.

A good buddy has been shooting 136g Sako TRG factory ammo with good results. He scored a small pile at a small price and now has a small pile of nice brass.

I have used the Berger in my 6.5 PRC since they were introduced. Agree, it will really shoot. That is one reason I want to try the factory load in my buddie's MRAD.

Do you know who makes brass for Sako?

He got a good price because it has been discontinued per the Sako website.

All the 6.5CM I have ever had shot hornady precision hunter 143 eldx ammo well. It’s not the cheapest out there though. As for what I am actually shooting and doing well with is hornady 147 eldm with 42-43g h4831 powder
