My new Gap Crusader creedmor. Where to begin

[Aimsmall55]

I just bought a Gap Crusader in 6.5 creedmor. It's a 27" bartlein on that sucker with a 8.5 twist. Found it on their rifles ready to ship page. Bought 5 boxes of hornady 140 amaxs to start and break in. What powder is everybody using? I think I read h4350?? Any how, bullet performance from different manufacturers would be great from creedmor drivers bc after the money I just dropped I can't afford 500 of these and 500 of those. Thanks

Ha. No not at all. I had been looking into getting another GA built in creedmor just not so soon. When I saw the one up for grabs I snagged it.

Get some H4350 and 140 AMAX and load away.

Take a look at SMK 142grs as well.

Hornandy definitely got their powder choice right and it delivers great consistency.
