Factory ammo help

I haven't ever really posted here, but I have picked up tons of good info over the years.

I am going to start shooting some at longer ranges, until now, 600-700 yards is all I have every messed around with. I have signed up for a long range class in a few weeks, but I don't have time to work up a load for my new rifle. I bought a 6.5 CR Seekins Havak Bravo, topping it with a Razor GII 4.5x27, just to get me through the next few weeks and the class, I am going to run factory ammo.

So Hornady 147 ELD M or Federal Match with the 130 Berger OTM? Buy both?

it's okay. You have time try a box of each and see what the rifle likes. Then buy more of whatever it likes.

Sounds like you have a nice rig there. Have fun!

Berger loads for the Creedmoor also and I've heard good things about their factory ammo. I would buy a handful of different boxes and find the stuff that shoots best. Maybe they will all shoot good or maybe only one will.

I had great luck with the 147's but like others said try both. Gun will the
lol you what it likes.

You will find that pretty much everything out there in 6.5cm which is labelled as match ammo very much performs to the label. This is not a hunch nor a generalized assertion. It's knowledge based on characterizing literally >100 lots of retail 6.5cm factory match ammo of nearly every conceivable brand. Prime and Hornady were very well represented in those tests.

As far as what to take to class? Pick. One. Load. Bring extra.
