I have a 6 Creedmoor being built with a 1:8 twist. It's primary use will be target and Varmint/small game.
What bullet you recommend? I'll entertain the idea of Varmint load and a target load but would prefer just 1
 
105 Berger Hybrid.

Plenty for coyotes, deer, pronghorn, javalina, jackrabbits, prairie dogs, etc. Great for paper and steel. Great BC, extremely accurate, and you should get 3000-3150+ depending on rifle and load.

I run them in mine w. 24" 1:7.5" barrel.

Lapua SP brass
Fed GM205M
42.0 H4350 @ 3026fps (target load)
44.0 H4350 @ 3170fps (hunting load)
105 Hybrid
2.206" CBTO (.050" jump)

I have a 6.5 X 284 and it shoots 140 Gr. JLK VLD's very well!
We have been fooling around with N560 powder at 54.2 grains plus or minus just a couple tenths. Getting 2850 FPS or just a bit more.
