Just wanted to jump on here and share my successful loading with 6.5, 124 hammer hunters. I recently have done load development for 2 tikka 6.5 creedmoore rifles. The first rifle is shooting 2980 fps with RL 16 and shot a 2.5 group at 607 yards after 16 rounds of load development.
The second rifle is shooting H4350 at 3080 fps. It shot a 1.25" group at 392 yards after 5 rounds of pressure testing and a 3 shot group. I know it is only 2 shots which is not a great test but I only loaded 5 to test grouping. The 3 shot group was so good I decided to shoot the gong with the last 2.
Both rifles will be hunting deer and elk this fall with youth tags. I am excited to see the results of the bullet.
