First reloads for the 6.5 creedmoor

[Cleveland48]

Alright tested the 3 loads I had picked out for this deer season, and chronographed them. I don't want to dismiss the last group because that might of been me so I don't know. They shoot within a 1/4 of each other between the 120 and 140 so I may just swap back and forth. Which would any of you use ?

 

[Cleveland48]

The reason the 120's are so far the the right is because I adjusted my scope half asleep last night and apparently went the wrong way lol. So I moved it back over before I shot the 140's. All of these loads were full length sized. The ones I posted earlier with the 140's were neck sized, and it appears the neck sized 140's might be a little more accurate.

For sure, those groups can put a smile on your face. Fine riflery, Cleveland.

Thanks DrMike. I've been extremely impressed by the creedmoor and the ruger american predator. The rifle is ugly as sin. Looks cheap and feels cheap well it is cheap lol. I bought it cause I wanted a creedmoor, and I wanted a beat around rifle. I can't deny though I'm extremely impressed by it.

I certainly enjoy my Ruger Hawkeye chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. I need to do more work with it.

Does the Hawkeye have a 24" or 26" barrel ? I would like to have a 24" myself

 

[DrMike]

Mine is the 26 inch barrel.

Seen some guys over on the 65 creedmoor forum posting some awesome groups with those Hawkeye.

I don't think you'll gain anything with a 24" barrel, I have a 28" on my VT Creedmoor and there isn't any more velocity than the 22".
