H4350

That's where I'd start. I've not shot the AB in it, but other 130's in several 6.5 flavors.

I just worked up a load for my wife's creed using IMR 4350, 125gr bullet.

Well curiosity got the better of me. What is a 6.5 man-bun?

6.5 creedmoor, things that are new and popular have a natural resistance. Hence, manbuns and 6.5 creedmoors.

6.5 cm hate?

I don't quite understand all of the hate towards the 6.5 creedmoor. In my books it's a flat shooting round that is effective on deer sized game. I own one and love it! I also have a 7mm-08, .270 and a .300 win mag. But I wanted one ever since 2010. I read an article about two ex-marines...

I learned the hard way.

What it is NOT is a 6.5 Creedmoor - although it is often called that by the unenlightened and poorly educated.

Funny! I've had a 260 and three 6.5 manbun's, down to two now. I look more like the Grendel guy, guess it's time to build a upper.

I'm looking at getting a 6.5 PRC. We might need a new thread on what we are gonna nickname that one.

Matcha powder works well in the Creed

39.0gr RL15. Works in every Ruger American we've tried it in!

 

[OhHeyThereBen]

H4350 and the 130gr Accubond for me resulted in under .5" for me.

If we refered to the Creedmoor by anything other than Manbun, then all the 10 yr olds that associate as girls would be offended. :

From hearing other peoples reports, H4350 seems to be the ticket with the 130gr bullets.
Although i do know of one person using RL26 with 140gr bullets with good results.

I tried one load with Re 15 and 129 Interlocks. I only used 36 grains and it was right at 2800, from my rifle. What kind of velocity did you get with the 39 grains? My favorite load for the Creed is a 147 ELDM, over Reloder 26.

Has anyone shot a Remington Model Seven in 6.5 Creed?

If I remember correctly it was right around 2800 as well. My gun hasn't liked anything from 140gr and up. I'll have yo look into rl26!

Re 17 may work well, too. It is my go-to in my .260s, along with the Hornady 129 Interlock. The 6.5s like lots of powders. I also did one load with some Varget and Speer 120s that shot real well in one of my .260s.

The "node" for 130 grain bullets is around 2850-2875 fps. 140 grain is around 2750-2775. The 6.5 creedmore and the 6.5x47 Lapua both shoot sub 1/2" groups if you start at .020 off the lands and go up by .005 until you find the "seating node". If you need some help, Hodgdon has there 2019 reloading book out (powder types and charges) and if you follow the Hornady reloading book for COAL/OAL you should be pretty close.
