Any thoughts on 142gr MK for 6.5 Creedmoor
Looking for data that would help me narrow down my process. Loading for a 24” 1/8 barrel in a Bergara 6.5 creedmoor Ridgeback. I have: H4350 Lapua brass GM205M Any ideas appreciated. |

It works great in the 260 Remington. I’m sure it’ll work great in the 6.5C.
Check the tacked thread for a jumping off point. Here |

Its a great projectile for the 6.5.
I found that RL16 gave me the best velocities without killing brass. I used lrp (210m) and hornady brass though so my load data wouldn't work for you. |

bergara HMR PRO 6.5 creed lapua small primer brass CCI bench rest primers H4350 i had good results with RE 16 but i only have one lb of that so im sticking with H4350 for now. my load is 41.1gr and shoots under .2 for 3 shots and in the .3 for 5 shots. i have no idea what my velocity is but i am not trying to hot rod this load and burn barrel and brass |

Pederson brass and Br-4 primers, 41.3 gr H4350. Reloder 16 is no joke either, it will be hard to beat for velocity.

 41.3-41.5gr H4350, Fed 205m, hornady brass has worked in my gassers. Should have even better results in a bolt gun. The 142smk is also my go to bullet for my 260’s and have had great results out beyond 1200yds with it. |
