6.5 Creedmoor...loads for an entry level Ruger American Predator for shooting out to 500 yards plus...

[boisepaw]

Where do I start? I’m ready to start reloading for this rifle and looking for ideas for bullet and powder combinations for this entry-level rifle. It will be used for punching paper or shooting steel at distance...500-1000 yards as able. Suggestions?

That’s a sissy load.

I was gonna say either 42.8 of Reloder 16 with a 130 Berger or Norma GT on top loaded to 2.77", or 41.5 of H4350 with a 140 Berger or SMK loaded to 2.8"
