    Load data for Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor brass

    Thanks for the info. It makes sense that the solid bullets behave differently. I see the H4350 on Warners load data list now. It is way down the list using much less powder than top loads they suggest for producing high velocity.

    I am new to reloading. I have a new precision rifle on the way in 6.5 Creedmoor. My friend shoots 6.5 Creedmoor and offered to reload some rounds for me.

    Thanks for the help. I literally know nothing but the basic concept of mils, moa and bullet ballistics. I love math so I am confident I can learn the numbers. I am looking for help finding out what tools I need. I am approaching retirement and life has been pretty good to me the last few years...

I am looking for advice on where to go close to Milwaukee, WI to shoot and learn. Schools, trainers...
