I am curious what the data Hornady use to print on the 6.5 Creedmoor ammo boxes when the ammo 1st. came out was.

Can anyone help me?

41.5 grns of H4350 for a 140 grn ELD as per a Google search

THANK YOU !

you didn't mention 120 or 140
120gr Load Changed to Reduce Pressure
Hornady sells two types of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition, one loaded with 140gr Amax bullets and a second loaded with 120gr Amax bullets. Hornady has changed the 120gr load because there were some reports of pressure issues — stiff bolt lift and primer cratering — with the “first generation” load. The new load for the 120-grainers uses 40.3 grains of Hodgdon Varget. Previously Hornady was pushing the 120s with 44.5 grains of Hodgdon H4350. The old load was rated at 3020 fps from a 28″ barrel. According to Hornady, the new 120gr Varget load “sacrifices about 75 fps”, which means the Varget load should offer about 2945 fps velocity.

Thank You Mr. Vines !
