Sierra Bullets released extensive load data on the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. This medium-sized chambering has become one of most popular chamberings among tactical and PRS shooters. The 6.5 Creedmoor is a cartridge that offers excellent accuracy, good magazine feeding, long barrel life, moderate recoil and a reasonable component cost. This is why the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is so popular. It was developed in 2007 by Dennis DeMille, Dave Emary and is a shortened, improved 30 TC cartridge. The design is inspired by the.308 Winchester. This short action was designed to maximize case capacity, and allow for a variety of loading lengths while still fitting into standard short action magazines. The versatile 6.5 Creedmoor, with the correct twist barrel can take advantage of a wide range of bullets available in 6.5mm (i.e. .264 caliber). Reloaders are advised to use powders that are medium-to-medium-slow, such as Varget, H4350, Win 760 and RE-17. The light recoil of the 6.5 Creedmoor has been proven in benchrest and high-power rifle series. Combine this with its respectable barrel life, and you’ve got a recipe for success that should ensure its legacy for decades. Here are three tables from Sierra Bullets Reloading Manual 5th Edition. Important — This is only a sample!! Sierra has loads for many other 6.5mm types including FB Spitzer SBT HPBT and Tipped MK. These load data range from 85 grains up to 142 grains.
