NOE 266-126 FN for 6.5 CM

[Dieselhorses]

I found some loads on here for the 140 NOE FN but has anyone had any success with its little brother? I have some powdercoated/gas checked weighing in at 127-128 and starting at 18 gr’s of IMR 4227 but not sure of COL. There is one lube groove and what appears to be a cannelure but I don’t want to assume.

My main cast bullet load source is the Lyman "Cast Bullet Handbook" #3..
They list 13 grs. to 21.5 grs. (IMR 4227) in the 6.5X54 with their 129 gr. 266455 mold..
Since the X54 is smaller than your Creed you shouldn't have any pressure problems with the load you list
Lyman also list loads for the 6.5X55m but no loads using 4227..
I have a Creed myself but haven't tried cast in it yet..
Also have a 6.5 Grendel coming and plan on shooting subsonic with a old LEE Lovern (134gr.) group buy and a NOE 163 gr. bullet if the nose fits the throat of the Grendel..
Hope Al makes another run of those little 266126FN before next spring as I read they were designed to fit the Grendel by Von Gruff who built his max version on mini-action..
It'll be interesting to see how fast you can push either of the powder coated bullets you have with accuracy in your 1:8 Creed.

Much appreciated! I was more concerned about the COL but I messaged the fellow I purchased mold from and he recommended seating bullet (dummy round), slightly crimping and then chambering (seating bullet more). Then knock off .010".
