Just curious what guys are getting for fps and what powders their using loading their 6.5 creedmoor paired with a 140gr berger vld hunting tip.
 
I haven't shot those particular bullets but both my 6.5 cm seem to shoot well with h4350 as well as n555 at about 2680fps. I could get more speed but they shoot well as is. This is with 20" barrels. 6.5 staball is also made for the 6.5 cm and gives good velocity and low sd for me anyway.
 
I don't shoot the VLD but run 140 hybrids in my Tikka CTR and RPR. The Tikka is running them right at 2700fps (~1.5gr over book max with H4350 due to the long throat it has from factory). The RPR runs H4350 right around book max at 2780fps. 2700-2750fps seems to be pretty average with 140s in 24" barrels.
