6.5 Creedmoor shooters

[Out Back]

For those that shoot the 6.5 Creedmoor what Powder do you use that gives you the Best accuracy and what bullet?

 

[Waynzee]

For powder I use H4350, R 17 and R 15 and bullets for deer hunting Sierra 120 gr. Pro Hunter and Hornady SST 123 gr.. Hornady cases and CCI BR 2 primers.

Either rl-17 or h4350 work for me. I get the same accuracy from both but pick up about 50 fps with rl-17. Just have to switch to h4350 during winter.
140 eld-m is slightly more accurate for me than the 143 eld-x
Wlr primers
Hornady brass

H 4350, rl-17, rl26, imr 4451, imr 4955 from my last testing not done yet.. imr 4955 is looking great.

Using RL17 & VARGET, since the H4350 shortage is ongoing, but that's OK these powders work just fine! Using a Savage 10BA Stealth. Shot last Saturday in 32F weather.

COAL 2.825 magazine max
.0593 off the lands in this barrel

RL17 w/143 ELDX. 40.5gr velocity avg 2666 fps. 5/8"
VARGET w/123 AMAX. 41gr velocity avg 2958 fps 3/4" ( more work)

Hornady 1x fired brass
CCI BR-2 prime

Shooting in freezing weather all day aint easy for good grouping...bbrrr!

another nod for H4350. stockpile it when you can.

140 ELD match nets 2725 FPS.

 

[Trnelson]

I run 136 Lapua Scenar-L over 41.3g Norma URP for 2784fps SD 6 over the magnetospeed.

reloadersunlimited.com had 8 lb. jugs of H4350 last week. lasted for about a day. I think things are getting better for sure.
