Varget is the happy sauce!!

ymmv, but 4350 and 4831 have been very good to me in the little needmore. I don't really push this rifle; just looking for 2650-2700 fps from it. I have bigger pipes if I need more power and the kids like to shoot this rifle (6.5 creed) and the 25wssm I have.

I've got a Tikka 6.5CM on the way, will be shooting the Berger 135s. Anyone shooting these in a 20" creed? I've got Lapua brass, CCI 450s, H4350, Varget, H4831sc, RL23, H1000, and many more. Seems H4350 or Varget are the ticket

love the 130 gr with RL15 but that's just my opinion for my Ruger precision. All are not created equal so shop around- good luck with your toy !!! I DON'T push any of my loads / rounds can always move up a notch if need that extra mile.
