6.5 Creedmoor 140gr and Imr 8208 Xbr?

[The_Mechanic]

Anybody have some loads with Hornady Match BTHP 140 grains?

Nossler book has load data for Nosler RDF 140 grains but I am a noob and unsure if I should try to the same loads and OAL despite the Hornady bullet being shorter than the RDF.

What barrel length are you running? I experimented with 8208 in lighter bullets, seems like it would be a touch fast for 140 class unless you are already making the known tradeoff with a shorter barrel.

24" barrel RPR

I went with 140 grain RDF bullets and 8208 per the Nossler book but now I want to try the Hornady bullets and have no data to go on other than guess.

The hornady OAL is shorter than the RDF so I am thinking of trying the same load since pressures will be lesser.
