6.5 Creedmoor shooters

[mechengr]

Reviving this thread. Any updates with Reloader 16 or any other powder that's actually possible to find?

I just loaded up a ladder to try RL16 with 147s. Hoping to get a multi-use load I can shoot comps with in the summer then take the same setup deer hunting in the fall. I have shot RDFs the last few years for competition but don't think I'd ever try that bullet on game

In Peterson/adg brass I'm getting 2773 with the 140 eld. Ran the 130 berger north of 3000 fps. If I use hornady brass I gain at least 50 fps. In hornady brass my 140 load is 2885

It's a mild load because I've ran out of time to go higher, but it's constant sub moa, and occasionally sub half. It's running 2746 with an es of 11 over 20 rounds.
Edit: That's with Lapua brass

You guys not trying IMR 4955 are completely missing out!
24" barrel 1:8
lapua brass
Berger 135 classic hunters
Federal 205m
45.5gr of IMR 4955
2890fps with muzzle brake
2950fps suppressor
Ragged hole no matter cold or hot it is outside here in Texas Weather it's 30deg or 100deg. I stopped jacking around with H4350 because of the temperature swings with humidity!

I have a Remington PCR in 6.5 CM and this is the first rifle that I've owned that I've said this about, but I've found little difference between powders that I've tried as far as accuracy. Everything that I've shot with the 6.5 has been silly accurate, even right out of the box with Nosler factory ammo. I will say that I've stopped chasing that one hole group with my rifles and if I find a load that is below .5 MOA I'm done and this rifle was kinda boring to get there. I'm guessing most with a quality rifle have same experience with this caliber.

For what it's worth I'm running 140gr Accubonds with 41.5 gr of IMR 4350 now. Haven't even played with CBTO, just set at .020 off the lands.

New barrel on my creedmoor and this is how she shoots with the IMR-4955 just like the old barrel

I've had good results with H4350, RL16, RL 17 and IMR 4451 with 131 Hammer Hunters.

reloadersunlimited.com had 8 lb. jugs of H4350 last week. lasted for about a day. I think things are getting better for sure.

It lasted for a day instead of hours? Ha ha ha.

In my Ruger PR I very good success with RL16, Nosler brass, Fed 210M primers, and Hornady 140 ELD-M bullets. Uses the same zero as factory ammo...which in my rifle gives me about half MOA. I've only used them out to 1K, pass that, no idea how they work.

Where are you getting your load data from?
