6mm Creedmoor Advice

[sextonds]

I have the following components that I plan to use for my 6Creed. Any advice would be helpful.
It is a Saami spec 22" Proof barrel.

Lapua SRP brass
H4350
CCI 400 primers
Berger 105 VLD Hunting

(I know CCI 450's are a better option, but they're like finding gold around here)

Will the CCI 400's be ok? Will they cause hang fires in cool weather?

Im touching the lands at 2.21"

I don't think you will have an issue

It's a CREEDMOR you can shoot anything in it and be spectacular! One hole groups r!!!

These components are fairly standard for a 6 Creedmoor. Use your normal load workup procedures and you will be fine.

I use:
Lapua SRP brass
Fed GM205M
H4350
105 Hyb
I have shot mine from 14° to 115°. No issues.

Is the 205M a standard or magnum primer?

 

[6.5saum/300rum]

The 205m is a small rifle match that's what the M stands for not magnum. I think you will be fine with the 400's.

400s will be fine. No need for a Magnum primer. I run the Berger 105s and the Hammer Hunter 101 with the same combo of Brass, powder and primers.

Jgs8163, do I see powder burns on that target?

That's the paper burning my friend. the grass burns also as the bullet flies by.

Start around 41 with the 105s and workup. 42.5 is where I run them and about .020 off the lands in a 22" Krieger, 7 twist. Good luck and be safe.

I've had 205s&400s fail at -20*C. (At the range). Magnums for hunting for this guy. Plus I get better SDs too.

Jgs8163, my 6 creed barrel is at my Smith's as we speak waiting to get spun on. Can't wait. Thanks for the load info.
