Can anyone recommend good loads with 6mm Creedmoor and 88 grain hammer hunter or 105 VLD Hunting bullets?

Just like title says. I have a new Springfield waypont 2020 in 6mm Creedmoor. I have 1 box of 88 grain hammer hunter bullets and 2 boxes of Berger 105 VLD hunting. Lots of H4350, RL15, RL17, H4831,. Reloading for 35 years but little exp w this cal or bullets. Suggestions on loads appreciated. Thanks,

Definitely h4350 , consider big game and reloader 16. Try sending me a pm for loads or look on hammer data base starting points. I have two Tikka 6 Creedmoors that shoot stupid accurate with the 88 HH. Steve originally had my bragging rights 10 shot group pics, almost to the point of boring easy.

I'm thinking your best bet is with H4340 and RL17 of the powder you have. I'm shooting the 108 gr eld-x well past 1000 yds with H4350. Stupid easy to load for.

Post your results then. You'll get best results with a faster powder behind the HH than you'll be able to use with the ELD...

That's stepping on it pretty hard but not tearing up brass.

Thank you all for the replies. I'm gonna start with H4350 just having trouble finding reliable data on the 6mm Creedmoor with these bullets.

44.3 grains H4831 105 Berger vld hunting. 3 shots 800 yards 4831 out shot 4350 every time. David

41.5grs or H4350 has me at 3068 fps according to my drops out to 1105 yards. That's on low side of a 2/10ths spread that shoots extremely well. I've gone up to 42.2grs which is max according to the Sierra manual and it shot darn good too. I may use something near that for hunting but I just don't need to run it that hard on steel. This is in Alpha srp brass and cci 450 primers. I'm certain you'll find several options that shoot to your liking in this cartridge. For me H4350 has been easy to come by and the LGS offers it for $43/lb. I've been stocking up.

I had good luck with Superformance and the 88 grain HH. I never even got close to pressure in a real quick work up and it was smoking fast.

H4350 at 42 grains is always a good starting point for me. 4831 sc is also a very good option.
