6.5 creedmoor

[Full time hunter]

Recently purchased a ruger rpr in 6.5 creedmoor. Primary use is long range prairie dogs. 3-700 yards. 1-8" twist. I have I IMR4350 and H4350 powder. Looking for any sweet load recommendations.

41.5 grains H4350 and 140 Elite Hunters or Hybrids.........

42.5 imr4350 130eld

41.5 seem to work for me with H4350 using the 143 ELDX/ 140 Barnes Match Burner/ 140 ELDM. All 3 bullets when worked up seem to like that charge the best.

41.5 gr IMR4350 with Berger 140.

What bullet do you want to use?
Recommend 85gr w/ RL17 or H4350 @ 47.5gr. Faster is the RL17.

 

[lancetkenyon]

Lapua SRP 6.5CM brass
Fed GM205M or CCI BR4
41.5-42.5 H4350.
130 VLD or 130 OTM
Good enough for pronghorn at 771 and squirrel at 741 (on video).

Thanks for the input guys. I'll start with these recipes.

I concur! 41.5-ish seems to be the magic number for 140's and H4350. Boringly easy, repeatable, accurate...



...130's you say... what velocity are you... no, don't tell me! No, no, no!! Really!!

Support everyone comments above. Slight change to the recipe for a little more speed with 140-150 fps if I recall correctly. Accuracy did not suffer.

Lapua SRP Brass
Cci 450 primer
Lapua Scenar 100 gr. bullets
H4350 with 41.5 gr.
COL 2.734

My rpr really liked 42.0 with the 140's.
I also shoot a lot of the 130's from 43.5-44.0. They are pushed really hard

From my Ruger Precision Rifle used to get started in PRS competition a few years back. A couple of loads using H4831sc and H4350. Very surprised with the accuracy of these rifles. I have a couple of buddies that get comparable performance from their RPR's
