6.5 creedmoor reloaders

[sambo73]

Whats yalls favorite loads? My buddy bought the dies and is gonna reload for me. Ive got some hornady 120gr superformance amax and 129gr sst factory loads. Will be used for hunting deer, pigs, coyotes. Rifle is a savage 16 trophy hunter with 22" barrel with 1:8 twist. Ive been lookin at midway for bullets. Really like the reviews on the barnes tsx 130gr and nosler partition 140gr.

Thx in advance

42.5 H4350 behind a 140 Amax or Berger. Or 45 grains behind a 123 Amax. I shot the 130 Bergers also but didnt like their performance on game.

How did amax do on game?

No complaints full penetration on deer from 250 to 560 yards. Short bloodtrails on big pigs the largest i shot was about 275. The 123 grain seemed to hold together better but it may have been a fluke i only shot about 4 animals with each bullet.For the cost and performance they are good bullets, i also shot and won a few matches with them.

140 amax in front of H4350 is the way to go



My brothers first shot through the gun today at 100 yards. Heck with the bulls eye, we shoot at the thumb tacks

If you think it's a fluke....my 13 yo daughters first shots with this rifle

32 grains of imr8208xbr with a 140 grain berger VDL target. Federal 210 primers.

I like the 140 grain ballistic tips for hunting better

With same powder charge.

Happy Shooter!

I think the fluke was the better penetration with the 123 amax than the 140, but i didnt test it out enough to see. Unfortunately someone offered me too much so im working on another build now

Pretty much tells you it all works, load some H4350 or Imr 8208 or even H4841 behind a bullet and enjoy.
