    Guys I'm starting to reload the HPBT and I'd be so grateful if anyone has some of these factory loads with measurements please? COAL, CBTO, case length and shoulder to base. In ordinary times I'd go buy a box, but it's not ordinary right now! Thank you
     
    Lemme save you some time...

    140gr HPBT @ 2.81" COAL
    Hornady brass
    41.5gr H4350
    Most any primer

    There's a clone 140gr AG/Black load. That load right there has always been my go-to "easy button" and is right at or a hair under 1" @ 100yd 5-shot groups in a half-dozen different 6.5 Creedmoors I've owned.

    If you want more velocity, 42.2-42.5gr H4350 should set you up nicely.

    have you tried this with IMR4451?
