Just started working on a load for my new 6.5 Creedmoor. I've set aside some Hornady ELD-M bullets and am experimenting with H4350 powder. Would love to hear what others are using for this caliber.
 
Stick with 41 grains of H4350 and 140-grain ELD-M for a solid starting load. It shoots flat and groups tight in my Bergara B-14. Check your velocity with a chronograph to stay under 2800 fps for barrel life. What range are you testing at?
 
ELD-M plus H4350 is a common combo. What's your barrel twist and length? Folks compare bullet weight, seating depth, and primers, but always follow published load manuals and start conservatively
 
I haven't personally worked up loads for a 6.5 Creedmoor yet, but I've read that H4350 paired with Hornady ELD-Ms is a popular combo. Many shooters report consistent accuracy and manageable recoil with similar setups

What bullet weight and purpose are you aiming for, hunting or long range? and which primers and overall length are you testing so others can share compatible components and safe tips?
