Load data for 6.5 Creedmoor?

[jakeway]

I just bought a Creed and will soon have some empty brass to reload. But being a relatively new cartridge, I haven't found much load data on line, and it isn't in the older load manuals I have.

Does anyone have some load data they can share?

I already load for a 260 REM, so I'd like to use the same powders and bullets if they work well in the new rifle. I currently use 120 NBTs, 120 Sierra Pro Hunters, and HDY 140 Interlock SP. The factory ammo I got with the rifle are 129G Interlock, but I'm not opposed to going SST at all. I also have some 85 gr Sierra Varminter hollow points for target and 'yotes. My favorite powders are IMR 4350 for most loads, and H4895 for low-recoil loads.

Thanks for those links, particularly the third one.

I would start with H4350 with 129 and heavier and RL15 with 123 and lighter

H4350 is the go to powder for this round. My gun likes the 140 SST with a good dose of H4350.

Yep h4350 is the main powder if you can find any. Varget, RL15 work and the IMR 4451 is showing outstanding promise. I picked up 2lbs of h4350 at cabelas the other day bit if it pops up anywhere it's snatched up quick

Just bought a new ruger American predator, I've tried H4350 with the 120 BTs , varget in next . Probably gonna try some 140gr with the 4350 as well.

I have a friend who has a 6.5 Creedmoor and he claims the 140gr hornady match ammo shoots right with his reloads. One ragged hole at 100yds

Thanks again everyone. Especially those pics!

I picked up a ruger American predator a couple weeks ago, tried h4350 with 120gr ballistic tips with fair results, decided to load a few with varget, took it out this morning and shot a 5 shot sub MOA group at 100 yds. I'll stick with varget this season

I have two Creeds and love them. One is a custom I had built and the other is a Ruger American Predator which is the most accurate factory gun I've ever shot and for the price of $366 you can't touch it. Here is two good places for loads.
