Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Nice art to 6.5 Creedmoor loads

I just bought one of the cheap Savage Tacticals from Cabelas, mostly because I wanted a 6.5CM and they were $529. It shot in the .6-.7 range with factory 140's, so I loaded five with H4350 and 5 with H414. Not too bad.

Now for the kicker the H414 is four shots with a 142 MK and varying charges from 39.5-41 grains. The H4350 is the same bullet with charges of 40,40.5,41,41.5,and 42 grains of H4350.

Didn't do anything to the rifle except adjust the trigger, check that everything was snug, and retorque the stock, mounted a 4.5-14 Minox that I bought on the cheap when doug at Cameraland had them on sale.

Looking good.

Nothing sweeter than a low price shooter!!! Well done

Loaded up 10 of each, will try them and shoot them over the chronograph to see how the ES looks. I certainly expect it to hit the .3's pretty consistently. If the ES looks pretty good, will start trying to ring a 600 yard frying pan.
