Does anyone have some 6.5CM Load Data they are willing to share??

Looking for what brass you have found to be most forgiving, bullet weights used, powder used, primer used. COAL ect. Just looking to get a starting point. Looking at running 142 grain Matrix and possibly 160 grain Matrix.

6.5 creedmoor
Hornady A-Max 100gr
MAX BTOL: 2.215"
CCI200
RL-17 46gr
BTOL: 2.178"
3290 FPS

6.5 creedmoor
Berger hybrid 140gr
MAX BTOL: 2.420
RL-17 43gr
CCI 200
BTOL: 2.187"
2878 FPS

Hornady SST 123gr
CCI200
RL-17 43.5gr
BTOL: 2.186
3110 FPS

Swift sirocco II 130gr
Max BTOL: 2.230"
RL-17 42.5gr
BTOL: 2.225"
2980 FPS

The most accurate load for my rifle is the 123r Hornady.
The 140 Berger is 2nd best but performs way better than the 123 past 700 yds.

Tried H4350 before RL-17 and always had a flyer in every 5 shot group so decided to change.

Glad to see someone else is getting that velocity with the 140. What kind of groups are you getting with the 100 a-max? I bought some and I havent really played with them yet.

The 100 A-max works nice. It´s not My rifle´s favorite load, but it gives me about .3 MOA groups. Not a very good load considering the rifles capabilities. Here´s a pic of a 3 shot group using 123gr SST bullets and a pic of a 5 shot group using 100gr A-max. This A-Max group was using H4350, since I changed to RL-17 the groups got a bit tighter.
