6.5 Creedmoor subsonic load

[Truthsabre]

Any thoughts or recommendations on a subsonic load for the 6.5 Creed? I want a heavy bullet (140 to 160 gr.) moving around 1000fps.

Intended for a bolt gun as my recommendation will not function a gas gun. I developed one years ago in my 6.5-308. Used the 266469 (140 gr GC'd) cast soft (20-1 alloy) over Bullseye. Suggest you start at 4.5 gr and work up till the bullet hits 1050 fps +/-. No wad or filler needed though if a push feed action with plunger ejector I suggest drilling out the flash holes to avoid case shoulder set back after a very few firings.

Thanks a lot Larry. I was wanting to use Trail Boss but it's virtually impossible to find. Thanks again.

too bad your not in eastern PA, Sarco has at least 10 1lbers on the shelf and lots of other powders too
