Lovex SO70 - 6.5 Creedmoor

[Tremo]

Do any of you guys have some load data for the Creedmoor with this powder? I'm interested in data for 123 grain and 140 grain bullets.
Cheers.

Since Lovex doesn't list it (at least in my data), any data you are offered will most likely be without pressure and velocity data: in other words, something someone tried and didn't have issues with that they know of. If you are going to do that, you might be better served to deduce your own starting loads using the 6,5x55 SE data as a reference. Compare capacities of the Creedmoor to the Swede, and adjust minimum charge as required. Make up a dozen test rounds and try it. If it works, you can keep progressing through load development as normal. Start with the 140 grain and then figure that if the starting charge was safe for the 140 might be a starting point with the 123 grain. This may sound off the cuff, but it's better than blindly accepting someone else's extrapolations of the data.

On the other hand, you could contact Lovex and ask.~Muir

Cheers Muir.

As Muir suggested why not just get it straight from the horse's mouth by contacting Explosia. I've found them to be extremely helpful in the past.

I dropped them an email earlier this evening.

Can I ask if Explosia reply ed and what they had to say with regard to 6.5 Creed Moor.

Wouldn’t the .260 Rem be a better bet? It’s case capacity is 50.2gr H2O, he CM 50.9gr but the Swede 55.3gr.

I have used lovex SO70 exclusively in 6.5 creedmoor with fantastic results . if you want ot see the results check out the test targets on the B/N facebook page in the photos section . all the load data is on the test targets ..... enjoy .
