Load books that carry the 6.5 creedmoor

[levigarrett]

Well that just sucks, my load manuals don't have 6.5 creedmoor.
Think I have some reloader 15 to start me off . Any loads and or suggestions on a good manual
Loved the Lee manuals.

Hornady 10-11

The Lee second edition does as well as Lyman's Long Range precision Rifle Reloading Handbook.

Lyman has seven recipes for 123 gr to 147 gr.

The Lee has nine from 95 gr to 142 gr.

Lyman 50 and 51.

Powder manufacturers publish loads for their products. I like Hodgdon and Vihtavuori web guides. Alternatively, one could install the Hornady reloading app on the tablet or phone and purchase the data via the app, if I remember correctly, it is about $1-1.5 per caliber or $35 for the entire book. The generic how to sections are free to read.

I use the hodgdon or viht sites regularly as well. Valuable resources.

Or you can go onto the bullet manufacturers site and look up the loads on the specific bullets you want to use.

They don't even list the 6.5 creed for use with RL15. Not saying you can't, but they don't list it. Looking on the burn chart it is a faster burn, and the ones you want to look at are in the 4350, 4831, RL17, RL16 range. I'm planning on using H4350 when I start loading for mine.

When I started reading, looking for a starting point, pretty well every 'favorite' load I've read on the intrawebs about 6.5cm has been above published book values....

I have on occasion bought these if I happen across them and don't have data that I am looking for. They are caliber specific. google loadbooks usa.

Nosler.com has quite extensive data for that round. Numerous bullet weights with many different powders for each that they have tested

Hodgdon has had the 6.5 CM in it's load books since at least 2012. Bullets from 95 gr to 142 gr. - dan
