6.5 Creedmoor Hunting Loads


Is anybody hunting with a 6.5 Creedmoor ?
I'm looking for loads for this little guy, so far groups average 1.25" to 1.50 " which for me seems adequate.
Just curious what other fellas are using since most load info pertains to the paper punching gang.

I used the 130 grain Sierra this year and the 125 grain Partition both in the 260 Rem (same same) and they both worked very well on deer. The 100 grain Partition is also a dandy on deer, but I haven't had as good of luck with that bullet and accuracy from an 8 twist.

129 grain Hornady or 130 grain AB over 35 grains of Varget are accurate, but I like the 100 grain BT or Partition over 39 grains of Varget.
