What is the twist ?

Yeah I was looking at those on the Nosler site, figured since it's a Nosler rifle it might not be a terrible thing to pay them some respect and shoot their bullet out of it. But then I noticed the price, for what they wanted $50 for a year or two ago they want in the $80s for. I don't think it's that good if a bullet, but if it's what I end up being able to find then I'll try it. I have in-stock notifications everywhere I could think of.
I assume it's the SAAMi standard 8 twist. It's a factory Nosler barrel on it and I can't imagine they would've done anything different.
The Liberty rifles are a very nice hunting rig, congrats! We have had great performance from the 130 Tipped Gamekings, 125 Partitions, 130 Berger VLDH, and 130 and 140 Accubonds. I am working with the 121HH right now and got to 3150FPS with a good node at 3120. I have yet to kill anything with the Hammer yet though.
140 eldm loads from hornaday run 2725 in most guns and have shown consistantly run 1/4-1/3 moa out to distances beyond 1100 yards depending on your elevation. they are the new heat resistant polymer tip in the old a-max (which had a reasonable long range following back in the day).
Half a dozen people I hunt with have similar results across 4 platforms. Several large mule deer taken between 75-650 yards. Great performance in that range. Duplicate the load with a max charge of H4350 and 210m primers. Highly recommended load at those ranges.
What powder are you using behind that HH? Steve told me to use Varget behind the 124, and that's the only powder I have that I'm really low on.

Man sometimes this phone reminds just ****es me off when I am speaking to it trying to put words out there I do not type well H4350 With a elder 143 I also just picked up some nosler 140 grains that I hope shoot well also I have not worked up a load on those yet
Well it's an anniversary gift. She told me she was going to buy me a new gun at a "reasonable price" I wasn't sure what that meant so I went shopping and had a couple different options. Luckily this was on consignment and they took $1k for it. I asked her for a Swarovski spotting scope and she laughed at me when she saw how much they were.

I load up my CM with H4350 and Hornady 143 gr ELDX bullets and get .25 moa accuracy with the load I developed over about a 6 month period thanks to the help of several members in here. Because of them my entire load development process has changed and now I have several rifles that shoot sub MOA under all conditions I've shot them in.

3.141 base to ogive may be a misprint? 6.5 cm case length is 1.920" and 140 eldm bullet length is 1.374". That adds up to 3.294" which only leaves .153" for seating if you are talking OAL. I don't think that would even get you past the boat tail. I don't think it would even touch the top of the case if measured to ogive. ???

I recently sold my 6.5cm on here and my 'man bun' seems to have disappeared…
No brother, it just suddenly grew into a pony tail...

I too am low on Varget so I am running Super Performance. The top of my ladder was 49.5 grains at 3165fps with no detectable pressure in a 22" Weatherby Carbonmark. 48.5 is giving me 3120 and it groups well so I am going to get SD data as soon as it's not 90 degrees out.

6.5 Creed is just a gateway drug to 6.5 PRC anyway, unless you are a woman or kid.
