6.5 Creedmoor - Reloading Advice
Would be grateful if some of the more experienced shooters using this cartridge could provide some advice to get me started. Rifle is Bergara HMR with 22" barrel.
I'm hoping to use on Roe and Red deer, then long range gongs / targets. I'm leaning towards the ELD-X and ELD-M line ups, but would be happy to hear about any other good bullets out there.
Specifically, being new to the cartridge, I'm looking to hear recommendations on:
- Powder
- Brass (large or small primers?)
- Dies
- Primers
From the reading I've done so far, there's a suggestion that I can get a higher MV with large rifle primers. May need with the 22" barrel.
I don't want any silly barrel burner powders as it's a brand new rifle and I'd like it to last. Read some good things on RS62 and RS70. Vhit N560 and N550.
