6mm Creed Load Data

[Kmccord]

I received the dies and Berger 109 LRHT on Thursday and running what Berger recommended starting powder charge, testing for best seating off the lands, it looks very good so far. I am going to re-test to duplicate the .030 off and .060 off to see if it holds again, may go up and down on both of those depths about .005 and see if they close in some more. Once I settle on seating, I will run it up the powder charges and see what works out the best. The powder I am using is H4350 with CCI LR Primers.

Nice shooting!!

Finished seating depth test, I think I will settle on a .035 jump, by the time I got to .060 the barrel was getting pretty warm, I tried to hold off in between the different depth tests, but really need a barrel cooler or I would be out there for couple of hours. The .060 was duplicating from what was done previously, but for some reason on the last shot I had a flyer. It had put two in one hole. Now, I am going to run it up the ladder I set them up in one grain increments from 36 to 42, using the .035 jump.

You plan on putting the 109s on game @Kmccord?

I may, but this is not my personal rifle.

Decided on the powder charge, it appears the winner is 41.5gr. H4350 at .035 off Lands, CBTO 2.20. I will load up five and see if they will repeat at 41.5. Darn near put three in one hole.

I believe I have found a nice load for this one at 41.3gr of H4350 five rounds just over a dime and covered by a penny.

41.3 is my load I use as well

44gr of h4350 under a 88 hammer hunter in sig brass produces 3370fps in my 6mm creed. The same charge gives 3340gps with a 87vmax. 3/8" accuracy out of both loads.

I am looking to see if anyone has a favorite load for a 6mm Creed. The barrel I have is a 1:7.5t, I see 105 Berger, 109 Berger are available, but not limited to these, just looking for a good accurate load. I have H4350, RL16, RL26 Varget for powder and LRP, CCI 200. Anyone that has a proven load would be appreciated.

I'll be the oddball and give you something different from H4350. I use 41.4 grs. of IMR 4350 w/Federal 210's behind 108 Hornady ELD-M's. The SD is 8 and I'm getting an average of 3076 fps. When I ran a 10 shot group the barrel only had about 100 rds. on a Seekins Havak HIT and it is only getting better. I took this load out to a 1760 last weekend without issue.
