Lapua SRP brass
Fed GM205M

440-550yd head shots on PDs is easy

Same charge, group that was a touch wider was with cci 450. Disregard the flier right of the bull on that target, shooter error. The cci 200's definitely produce consistently tighter groups for me. That brass was alpha munitions and not on the target. Both of these shoot lights out and are 3390-3400fps on the chrono. I've been super impressed with this load on NY Whitetail, never had one take a step. Tears coyotes up pretty good too lol
These are 5 shot groups at 100 and both are seated to 2.145 cbto

46.2gr IMR 7828, 108 gr ELDM, Hornady brass has produced sub-2" 10-shot groups at 400 yards (best 5 shots of those were a little under 1", found the picture, posted below)

Edit to add: Ruger Precision, factory barrel (old model with key mod), and reloaded on an old Lee Turret press with Forster does and a Lee neck sizer collet die. Barrel had a little over 1000 rounds on it when I shot that, probably about 1400 rounds now. Trued data says it's running about 3150. I like it a lot.

I purchased some 109 LR Hybrid this afternoon, waiting for those to ship, hope to have them before next weekend. I received load data from Phil at Berger they are showing max charge at what you guys show for your favorite loads with H4350 and RL16, he mentioned the load data is lower than max pressure you should see. I cannot wait to receive them to test your loads. Thank you all for the information you have sent, I will put it to good use.
 
I have run the 109 LRHT over RL26, Alpha brass, SRP, 24 inch barrel 1:7.5. I was getting 3050 fps and 0.3 MOA groups.
I ended up switching to 108 ELDM and H4350, shoots light out 100 fps slower. I'm saving my lad 3 pounds of RL 26 not sure what for 😂

Those loads are also at saami spec oal so if loading longer there is room to play so use them as guidelines and work up safely.
 
Have you shot this load beyond 100 yds? I am curious if 7.5 twist will stabilize the 115's? I know that 105 A-Max's showed great accuracy at 100 yds in a 9.25 twist 243 Win to open up and start key holing at 200! The bullet required 9 twist or faster and the 9.25 would not stabilize them. At 100 it would shoot bug holes!

I am shooting a 7.5 twist 6 creed now. I thing 115's require 7 or faster twist?
Yes. I've had really good results out to 800, and I've been pretty happy with the few times I've gone to 1000. The range I use throws some tricky winds those last 200 yds and can really make them smaller rounds dance. I'm hoping to get out in the next few days and shoot some dtacs to compare.
 
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.
