144 Berger LRHT Advice For Greenhorn Reloader

[yunggun]

Hey guys I’m new here on snipershide. Been following for a while but just got my first precision rifle put together. I am a life long bowhunter but recently got into long range shooting thanks to a friend. I have built AR’s for years, but am green on a lot of reloading topics. My rifle is a 6.5 creedmoor with a 26” barrel and a 1:7.5 twist, thus I thought it would like the 144 gr bullet. Looking for some advice on what powders and charge weights you guys have used with this bullet? Thanks!

Here is the new rifle build by the way:
-26” M24 Preferred Barrel Blanks barrel
-MPA Matrix
-Bighorn Origin
-TT Diamond Flat
-APA .950 Rings
-Burris XTR ii 5-25x50
-Atlas Bt10 Bipods
-Area 419 Hellfire Brake

That's a good looking build. First of all, good luck finding components. However, if you are curious on what powders to try, I'd get whatever you find from the following list.

Rl26
Rl16
H4350

Again, good luck finding that, and when you do, make sure you buy it.
