Hi guys.
I have a Howa 1500 6.5 creed with a recoil reaper supressor. I am looking for a decent hunting load for the 129gn ABLR. I have N550, N555 and H4350. Anyone have a CBTO measurement and powder load to share please.
 
asking for another guys CBTO , could get you in trouble . if the other guys rifle is throated a little longer than your rifle , you could be jamming the bullet , or maybe not be able to close the bolt .

what you really want to know is how much jump .
 
Here are a couple of posts for your consideration:



Also, I believe JD338 has a load for the 6.5 CM using the 129 ABLR and H-4350.

jimbires is spot on, Different rifles have different chamber lengths and throats, not a good idea to use someone else's data on seating depths for your rifle. This tool can help you greatly. Lock N Load OAL Gauge to check seating depth and CBTO.


I use H4350 mainly for my 6.5 Creedmoor, hunting bullets I use Ballistic Tips, ELD-X and M. Bergers for long range target shooting. H4350 grain weights vary from 40-42 grains depending on bullet weight, make sure you start from 10% less and work up. I use mostly the heavies and the 120 Ballistic Tips shoots lights out. 2725-2775 fps for the 140's and 3000 fps for the 120 BT.
You will be happy with the H4350, Creed loves it.

Welcome to the forum, you will gain lots of valuable information from these guys on here.
