6.5 Creedmore

[Hawkeye63]

Anybody have any idea what Hornady is loading their 129sst superformance with. Just purchased a creed and it shoots this load decent but I believe ican reload it to shoot better.

The 129 superformance is the first factory loading i have used in many years, shoots and kills very well in my Savage. I assumed it was loaded with Hodgdon Superformance powder, but I don't know that.

Mine likes Hodgdons 4350, it shot the 129 sst factory loads well also but I have no idea what powder they use

Im pretty sure they use hogdon superformance powder. Out of all the powders if tried for my 6.5 cm Rl-17 is the best all around for accuracy and velocity. My dad uses Rl-17 with the 129 sst with good results

I usually run a 140 a-max on top of 43 grains of Rl-17. Thats goin at 2900 fps out of a 24 inch tube. Ive been trying the 100 a-max for coyotes and im getting 1/2 moa with that. I got some 130 bergers im h oing to start playing with as well.

I'm running the 130 gr berger vld hunting. Out of my 26" barrel it's around 2950 fps. I have only validated velocity out to 605 so not far enough to get a true fps. I know it's less than the 2950 but it's real close. Gunsmith says it runs hornady 140 amax's real well also using the 4350.

I beleive my dads load was 44.5 grains of rl-17 at 3000 fps. Thats a hopped up load though so if i wadsyou id start lower and work up.

I believe my dad does 44.5 grains of rl-17. But like i said its hot loaded so start lower and work up.
