Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Good 6.5 Creedmoor loads

Shooter71 spun on a Hawkhill #2 8 twist for me. Chopped it at 22". Goal was to build a factory ammo shooter for my daughter. So pulled a low round count Hart #2 in 260 Remington to do it. First 3 shots ever down the barrel was Berger Factory Ammo 135 Classics. Those went around .4" to start things off. They held that accuracy out to 500 yards within the first box of 20 factory rounds.

It then shot the 140 vld and 147 ELD handloaded stuff quite well too. Most info should be on the targets. These were all among the first 30 rounds ever fired in it.

Shooter71 did give this one a .150 throat so I can hit the lands at around 2.805 with the 147 eld and 140 vld.

Good smith, good Lapua brass, good barrel, pretty easy to work with.
