According to the Sierra Load Manual: “Developed in 2007 by Dennis DeMille and Dave Emary, the 6.5 Creedmoor is a shortened and improved 30 TC cartridge case that was inspired by the .308 Winchester design. This short action design was created to maximize case capacity and a wide range of loading lengths, while still fitting in standard short action magazines. With the correct twist barrel, the versatile 6.5 Creedmoor can take advantage of the wide range of bullet weights available in 6.5 mm (i.e. .264 caliber). Reloaders should keep in mind that the 6.5 Creedmoor works best with medium to medium-slow powders such as H4350, Varget, Win 760, and RE-17.”

Great info ! Being a newbie, this is very helpful information. I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts !!!
I’ve pushed the new 150gr Matchkings in excess of 2900fps. Over 2950fps with Reloder 19 and right at 2910fps with Superformance. While RL-19 gave great velocities, the 5.0xx SD and 9 ES I achieved with Superformance had yet to let me down in competitions.
You know they publish all this load data with Federal 210 primers. Primers make a difference in any load problem is you cannot get Federal 210 primers ever hardly anywhere. I wish these guys would pull their heads out of their you-know-what and publish these loads with real-world components like Winchester large rifle primers
Shane, federal 210 primers are rather common at our local sporting goods store. I would suggest checking around rather than your usual venues.
