Just finished my load work on my new 6.5 Creedmoor. Shooting the 140 VLD Hunting and using the Lapua brass with Fed 205 Match Primers.
42.4 grains of H4350 and seating the Berger bullets .010 Off...........Groups have been in the .3's and velocity check today gave me an average velocity of 2860 fps my rifle has a 26" Benchmark Barrel.

heading out to Wyoming in November for antelope

Does the Lapua brass require a hot small Rifle Primer like a CCI 450 or will the 205 work out in really cold weather.
 
I shoot a 6.5X47 and only use the CCI 450. I am located in Southern Manitoba Canada. Shoot with the CCI 450 in plus 70-80F down to very cold -20. Never had a problem with ignition. Sounds like a very nice load you have for your Creed.
