Thread: 6.5 Creedmoor Loads for 1:8 Twist?

I'm on the 2209 train. Seemed a good bet for starters and it turned out that my rifle likes 41.5 grains with the 140 ELD-M, CCI 450 primer and Lapua brass.

It shoots so well I just haven't needed to look elsewhere! I've played with 2206 with 100 grainers, more work to be done there.

I am a bit curious about other powders for a faster load purely for hunting though.

All the reading I have done says that 2208 or Varget has good accuracy potential but isn't the best for velocity with the heavier 6.5 stuff.
