6.5 creedmoor reloading

[Tgnara001]

hi I'm new here but I just bought a Brownings hells canyon long range in 6.5 creedmoor and I'm gonna reload. I was wondering what would be the best bullet weight and powder for best velocity and accuracy?

I like 130 and 140 class bullets over H4350 or Varget.

Varget works well with bullets up to 130gr. H4350 works well from 120gr and up. I haven't found any R26 yet but lots of folks are getting amazing velocity from it with 140gr bullets and up.

I recommend you let your rifle tell you what it likes best. Mine prefers 130gr Berger AR Hybrids pushed to 2868fps by Varget. At the velocity my rifle likes 140s, they don't show any advantage over the 130s until the 1000 yard line so I just stay with the 130s.

140 eld-m with rl-16 is your huckleberry. Rl-26 is what I switched back too after being dry of it for over a year. I scored 8lbs so that's what I'll be using again.

Yep and RL-16 and Berger 140 elite hunter is an excellent hunting load

I had this same rifle and it liked h4350 and 135 classic hunter berger and 140 berger vld.

I'm running a really modest load of 36.8 grains of RL-15 under a 130 grain accubond and its .5 MOA in my Weatherby altitude. I had to put an "under 200 yard" load together quick to use the rifle in the late season (got it for Christmas) so I settled for that in a pinch. I'll run it up to pressure this fall and see if there's a higher node.

I was running the 147 eld but switched to the 124gr hammer hunter over varget for a great easy to load for hunting round. Every charge was well under .5"

123's - Varget.
130's - RL17, H4350, SW4350, IMR4350
140's + - RL17, H4350, SW4350, IMR4350

Case - your choice
Primer - your choice

I have a really nice load with 143 eldx and H 4350. Good velocity and nice accuracy... Have taken a large mule deer and a large whitetail with this combination.
