6mm Creedmoor Advice

[JAYgs8163]

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.

No worries. My rifle is actually throated for the 105 and 115 Bergers. Just a FYI and is actually a little short of a spec chamber. My smith has a custom reamer for those bullets.

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

You are one dedicated individual . I don't ever plan to be at the range when it's that cold. 15°F is about the coldest weather I'll ever be in, and that isn't very often

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.

What kind of Velocity do you get with that load. I'm running a 22" Proof

I have not measured the 105s yet but the 101 hammer Hunter im getting 3201 FPS. You're probably going to be around 3150 in a 7.5 twist with the 105 I imagine.

What can I say I live in the NE of . Can't sit indoors all fall-winter

Reply, you may be able to them even hotter than I do as my 7 twist builds pressure quicker than a 7.5.

I'm also going to test some 6.5 Staball with the 105's

You won't be disappointed. Love that powder. Acts like superformance IMO

In a pinch I've used IMR 7828SC (in 6.5 CM too)
It's a nice powder for short distance controlled expansion pills. ( I can't recall the weight of the projectile at the moment though)
I've tested it on white tails from ~ 40 yards. Works great. Bang flop to the boiler room.
I'm also going to test some VV N-160 under some 109gr Berger

Here is a sample from my bergara with a 8tw 26" SS walther barrel and muzzle break (new with ~60 break in rd)
