6.5 creedmoor

[Daleo8803]

What is your pet load?

I have just picked up a ruger American predator in 6.5 creedmoor that will be my budget long range gun.

Have read that many people are have great results with superformance? powder and 140gr sst bullets. But aren't the sst a hunting round? Figured I would pick up some 140gr ELD to try.

I haven't shot the rifle yet. Just trying to get some recommendations for it.

I run 40gn of H4350 with a Berger 140gn ELD. Holding .25in groups out of my ruger precision @ 100yrds.

Varget. Doesn't seem to matter which projectile I run, varget ends up being the most consistent.

42.6gr of h4350, Berger 140 hybrid at 2820 FPS

The bergers shoot amazing. I did a ladder test, loaded 12 different charges, it shot them all in 1 ragged hole, right around an inch. Pretty good consistency for 12 rounds all at different powder charges.
