100 grain 6.5 creedmoor

[Marcel g]

Hi there,
Has anyone tried some 100 grainers in their 6.5cm?
Preferably eldm or nosler BT’s.
I’ve done a bit of research and it looks like rl15 is the powder of choice. Just looking at what results people have had and what powders are favourable.
Cheers

I've used 100gr BT in 260. N150 powder and MV around 1000m/s. The energy dump is quite violent at least to 150m or so. Whitetail, that is same size or bit larger than fallow.

100gr Lapua Scenar with 42gr of N150 around 3200fps

They work OK but much prefer the 139s as they handle the wind better.

Hornady 100gr ELD-VT with RS60. Great foxing round

I use 100gr in mine but mine are Cooper so a bit different. They work well and out of 5 loads I would have been happy with the group from all 5. I’m using RS62 on that load

Is anyone using rs52/n140 for their 100grain loads?

35gr N150 with Nosler 140 Custom Competitions, switched to 139gr Lapua Scenars with 36gr and got better groups.

Consistently gives 5 shot .3" centre to centre groups at 100yds from both my 6.5CM's (Tikka TAC A1 and Bergara BMP)
