I’ve shot 130s and 123s to good effect. You can get the length info from JBM, get a nominal MV from the load data, then use the stability calculator at Berger to figure out if a particular projectile will work in theory.
People worry too much about twist rate with light bullets in a cartridge like this. You can shoot 85gr Sierras if you want. IME any weight from there up shoots well in a 1:8 6.5 Creedmoor. It's not like a 22-250 shooting thin jacket 40gr bullets at 4,000+ fps where you have to twist it slow enough to not blow up bullets.
Agreed, while not the 6.5 Creed the OP was asking about I can give you the example of my 1in9 twist 23” .308, it shoots 110gr VMAX at 3340fps with .75” groups. I believe while you can definitely under spin a heavy bullet in a slow twist, with today’s modern quality bullets it’s is far harder to over spin something to the point of failure.
