Ammo testing in my Rem 700 6.5 Creedmoor

I guess I found the baseline ammo for me to try and match it through reload.

Went out today with 4 different type/brands of ammo.

Here are the result (100 yards, bipod and rear bag)

Federal 140gr Soft Point.

Sellier and Bellot 131 gr Soft Point.

Sellier and Bellot 140 gr Tactical FMJBT

Hornady Super Performance 129 Gr SST

$50 for the Hornady and $25 for the S&B , I guess will be buying the S&B for my go to to ammo until I can match it with reload.

Good results with both the S&B and the Hornady 129s but the gold standard as far as I'm concerned up here (if you're looking for an accurate match load) is the Hornady 140gr ELDM load. That shoots awesome in most guns and has a much better BC than either of the bullets used in S&B or the 129 SST.
