6.5 creedmoor loads

[TRAAV]

I am looking for anyone that has had any luck coming up with some good loads for the dpms 6.5 creedmoor. There is such little load data out there I'm not real sure where to start with some of the powder and bullets I have.

I tried 39 grains of IMR 4350 today with a 140 Amax, .010 off the lands, and Wolf Primers. Good accuracy........first run on once fired brass. I didn't have my chronograph with me, so I don't know where it clocked at.

H4350 is the one I am using and there are loads in the reloading section at the top .

H4350. Start a little lower than the 140 AMAX box load of 41.5grns and work up.

Re: 6.5 creedmoor loads

i have been running 41.4gr RL-17 in the hornady brass, 140gr AMAX with moly. works great in my bolt gun - work up loads carefully, start low.

great cartridge and bullet combo - wish i could find more bullets but no one seems to have any.
