Hornady #26335 6.5MM used for 6.5 creedmoor

[Espider1263]

hello there, I have researched and couldn't find anything on this, I'm new to reloading and in the data for reloading 6.5 CM it never mentions these, and might be a dumb question but can i use Hornady #26335 6.5MM ( pic below) for reloading 6.5 creedmoor?

The 6.5 Creedmore is a 6.5millimeter so yes these will work.

The 6.5 Creedmore is a 6.5millimeter so yes these will work.

i do understand that the 6.5CM is the exact size of 6.5MM but in any loading data i dont see this model being used.

But they don’t have a competitive BC for long distance shooting. I would recommend 140 Berger hybrid as a minimum

Find any 6.5 CM recipe for a 140 grain bullet. Start on the low side and work your way up.

This is a match (target) bullet , g1 bc @ .580 not to shabby . They would not be my first choice for a 1000 yd match . however they will work fine for your 6.5 CM .load um up and have fun . good luck dave

#26335 is listed in Hornady's reloading manual and has load data for the 6.5 CM

Hornady Data site should show them, if not call Hornady Tech and ask. But yes they will work.

Hornady 10th Edition manual has it.

I use them for the Creedmoor, and I’m pretty sure that’s the bullet Hornady puts in the American Gunner loaded ammo.

How so, they have a better BC than almost any 6mm bullet on the market

That 140 is not an eld-m but the old hpbt. This is a 6.5 by the way not 6. Any of the 140’s brought out in the last few years will have a higher BC.

I know that, just seems a bit disgenous to claim a bullet has a bc not competitive for long range when it’s higher than the BC of an entire diameter of bullets used in long range disciplines. They are for sure outclassed by other available bullets in BC.

Then again I like 123 scenars and 130 hybrids both of which have lower BC than these so I guess I prefer rocks

edit* this sounds way more intense than its meant, it sounds like I’m really defending a position and in reality I don’t really care I just think people underestimate a .580 BC now

 

[Park ranger]

It’s a hornady, I don’t care what BC they claim. That’s worthless when they go puffff. Sorry, still mad.

That bullet is used in the Hornaday Black 140 gr HPBT ammo that for some reason, just loves Savage brand rifles, as well as many others. Yes, you can load it, and yes it will do the job and do it alot cheaper than the expensive brand.
