New 6.5 Creedmoor barrel....which powder(s), projectiles to start with?

[want2learn]

i just ordered a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel...it's a.totally new caliber for me....

The barrel would be a 1:8 twist, 27 inch long barrel...unless the consensus suggests otherwise.

I'm hoping to shoot prone F type mostly, maybe some PRS at ranges of 100 - 1300 yards paper/steel, not planning to hunt.

Trying to stay somewhat cost conscious and judicious. Wondering which powder(s), projectile(s) (and i guess primers) would you recommend i start with for load development..

thank you

6.5 Creedmoor

I'm in the process of building my 6.5 Creedmoor and I have a few boxes of their 120gr AMAX factory loads, but once those are gone it to the table. I've seen a few loads on here, but they are spread out all over the place. Figured we need a spot for all of them to go. Bullets I'm interested in...
