Does anyone have any good load data for the 6mm creedmoor? Min to Max loads for 105s? I will mainly be shooting 105 hybrids for target and steel and 105 hunting VLD if I decide to take it deer hunting. I have read that the capacity is almost identical to the 243 so I can use that data with it backed down 10% to start just to be safe, but I would prefer if someone had min and max loads specific to the 6 creed. I will be trying H-4350 to start. Any powder suggestions are welcome as well. I may tinker with a load for coyotes in a couple of bullet weights but if it doesn't work out I won't be torn up over it. Any info is much appreciated.
 
I am not near my data right now but from memory 41-42 gr of H 4350 is where I played with the 105's

I switched to RL26 but cannot remember the exact charge weight

My next plan is to play with the RL 16 with the 6 Creed

Did the 4350 not perform like you had hoped? Anymore info you have is much appreciated!
 
Here is loads I have tried so far. All with Hornady brass 210M primers and 105 Berger
These charges are where I stopped or ended up after a range of loads.
N160 42.6 3044fps Shot very good .3 to .7 groups

4000MR 43.5 3093fps groups averaged .600 also loaded some 107gr Sierra with this load excellent groups

IMR7677 47.0 3062fps Inconsistent velocities

Reloder17 40.00 3055fps Shot good also loaded some 105 Amax

H4350 41.5 3105 fps good SD but groups only fair

RL26 45.8gr 3230fps shot well

Thanks for the info Venatic. I could not find any RE-26 online or in any store to try until I went into the new hardware store in town. They have very little reloading stuff but have a pile of varget and RE-26. I will give some a try this weekend when I get freed up. Thanks for the input.
