So I picked up a Hart Custom 6.5 Creedmoor. Before I go and spend more money on reloading equipment, does anyone have any suggestions or opinions on the Berger Match 140gr, Federal GMM 130gr or Hornady Match 140 or 147gr? I'm thinking I should get a box of each and see what the rifle likes best. just looking to see what grain bullet is best for steel shoots. Mainly 1000 yards and in.

Rifle looks badass! Cudos! Just try about 5-10 different weights and velocities. You may find several that shoot well.

I dont load for my AR15 because I have at least 3x factory ammos that shoot 3/4 MOA. Plus I get plinking ammo for $0.10/rnd.

That is my plan. I ordered Berger 140gr hybrid - federal Gold Medal 130gr - Nosler RDF 140gr and Hornady match eld 140 and 147. So it should be a good day at the range testing each round.
