[QUOTE="jkokanovich, post: 1631006, member: 14036"] My Tikka 6.5 Creed shoots best with Lapua brass and I've tried Hornady, Federal, Prime, and Nosler. Lapua was the most consistent and by a considerable margin, plus if you are like most you'll get more reloads which helps reduce the cost. Seems like most of the best PRS/NRL and accuracy oriented competition shooters use Lapua if it comes in the cartridge they are shooting. Some even apparently select their cartridge based whether there is Lapua brass available or Lapua brass can be modified for a particular chamber. You've gotten good advice on CBTO and have a good rifle plus a desire to learn, so you are on a good path. Only been reloading for a few years, but it's a great hobby if you are detail oriented and into consistency. Keep up the good work! You can try other powders and I have especially back when H4350 was nearly impossible to find, but for your purposes, H4350 will be really hard to beat so I'd stick with it if I were you. Finally, don't chase velocity and with over book loads, accuracy and ES/SD consistency trump velocity every time. Best wishes! [/QUOTE]
