Subsonic 6.5 creedmoore

[paulrem308]

Anyone got any loading experience with it. I know its not ideal but this will be strictly for fun. Used trailboss in my 308 sub rounds with sucess, wondering if charge weight would be close in 6.5
Did a search and didn't come up with much info

First thing... not optimal cartridge for this lol, but im sure you're aware since youre asking : )

Barrel twist and heavy subsonics might get weird... id stay away from long and heavy bullets, go for a nice stubby short bullet. Quieter too since faster powder is usable and less powder used.

Maybe a round nose or a nice wide flat nose cast. The flat nose will do better pest work.

Trail boss for sure or MAYBE a fluffy fast pistol powder may fit the bill if youve got experience in that realm.

There is likely a fair amount of galllery load or quiet loads for the old 6.5 rifles out there that may be helpful if you do some digging on it.

To the 1st response. Weird, did search and got this page but Only 1st half of page. Clicked on your link and more info showed.
Anyway looks like start around 12 gr of trailboss and work down. Gun is arc archimedes rifle 1 in 7.5 twist. Will have to stay with coper jackets since running tbac ultra 9
