sierra 120hpbt question

[josebd]

anybody shoot these in a 6.5 creedmoor?
do they like to be loaded close to the lands or prefer a jump .010-.040
i know every rifle is different just trying to get a idea on where to start

I like to start at .010 off the lands not matter what bullet I'm using (to get as much case capacity as possible) as my focus is not on jump but on a seating depth that gets me into a good position in an accuracy node. I have a very long freebore, so lighter smaller bullets may not even reach to .010 off the lands.

Velocity and atmospherics?

Temp @ 67 degrees
Little to no wind - I have a 100 yd. hole cut into the woods behind my shop so wind don't bother much at all.
Did not chrono - wanted to see if the load was worth spending much time with.
