I have a (new to me) rifle to work up a load for-
it's a stock Savage 10 in 6 Creedmoor in a McRees Precision Chassis that has only shot factory ammo to this point. I have no experience in the 6 creed world and want to know what people are finding to be the better starting points. I am going to go with Berger Hybrid OTM 105 grain, New Starline Brass, and which powder and primers- at first 100yard workups (all I can do during the lock down) with the intention of 600 yard shooting for the club and eventually over the summer getting a chance to try a 1040 yard range to see how well I can shoot at that distance. This would be to determine if I want to actually get a true LR rifle or not.
it's small rifle primer brass- Here's what I have on hand
I have Fed #205, CCI #400, Rem #6-1/2, and Fed #GM205M
or could go with CCI #450 or Rem #7-1/2 BR if small rifle magnum/benchrest primers would be better.
Powder Wise- Here's what I have on hand
I have H4350, SW4350, IMR 4350, RL17, IMR 4064, 8208XBR, SW Precision Rifle, SW Match Rfile or Varget.
My gut is saying the following because of 6.5 Creed work up-
H4350 (39.7-41.7 grain workup based on Hornady 10th manual - 41.7 max load shown)
Berger Hybrid Bullet
Fed GM205M Primer
and right at Mag Length
but open to suggestions from others with more experience on 6 Creed
