[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 710880, member: 22069"] I am a 6.5 fan, just not a Creedmoor owner. Anyway, you might find it worthwhile to check out Hornady's factory ammo for a place to start. Factory match ammo can be had loaded with 140 AMAX bullets. Hunting ammo can be had with 129 SST's. I say try 'em and see what you and your rifle like. Where handloads are concerned, I would start with the aforementioned bullets plus the 123 AMAX. Not sure what the preferred powder would be, but I would think that H4350 or RL17 would be a good place to start. FWIW, I tried Hornady's 140 SST Superformance load in my 6.5 Swede alongside my handloads using Berger VLD's and the Hornady factory stuff shot pretty well. Not as good as my handloads, but darn close. [/QUOTE]
