6.5 creedmoor?

[Michael C. Smith]

Got a savage model 16 stainless 6.5 creedmoor on the way it has a 22inch barrel. Think I want to start with some of the lighter bullets 100 to 130 grain range gun has a 1x8 twist. I have varget and can get rel 15 and maybe some h4350. I think the varget and rel 15 will probably be the best with the lighter bullets. What are yalls thoughts on powder? Was going to look at seirria and the nosler bt and 130 AccuBond. What about the nosler brass for the creedmoor have any of yall used it?

Thanks Michael

I did a lot of research when I bought my 6.5 Creedmoor. I decided I was going to standardize on 129 and 130 grain bullets. It seems some of the best velocities are coming from R17 and W760 powder. 4350 isn't a bad choice. I think Varget has a good burn rate for lighter bullets. I have only used Hornady brass so far. Nosler is never a bad choice for anything they make.

RL 17 and Ramshot Big Game work well with the lighter bullets.
