I am going to load up a ladder test for some 130 eldm bullets for my 6.5 creedmoor I will be using rl16 my question is what charge weight should I start at?
 
I ended up at 42.0 grains@ 2890 with my load I just ladder tested I loaded from 40.5 all the way up to 42.9 with zero pressure signs but ran out of case capacity.

42 was more consistent for me so I backed down to that

Has been shooting really good for me
