6.5 Creed with Berger 130 GR. VLD and Varget

[greg vess]

I am loading up a few Berger 130 gr. VLD 6.5 Creedmoor rounds up with some Varget Powder. It's mainly just to break in the barrel. I am getting some H4350 tomorrow but I might as well work up 20 rounds just to break in the barrel and zero the scope kind of at the same time. I cannot find any reloading Data for Burger 130 grain vld projectiles. Varget powders what I'm going to use it initially but then I'm going to switch to the h4350. But I can't even find data for the 130 grain vld bullets. I've looked at four screens of sights of load data and none of them have that projectile with Varget powder hell I can't even find it with h4350. I put out a couple feelers on a couple other forms to see what develops.

If you're just putting pills down the pipe, find a starter load for any manufacturer's jacketed 130gr boat-tail and use that. It's going to work, if not optimally.

Edit:

Or go out and buy the Lyman 51st edition Reloading Handbook and stop relying solely on recipes posted by internet randos.

Ah dude! I was gonna ordena 40 dollar Berger reloading manual. You just save me 40 bucks plus tax and ship. It would have got here till the 11th. I have a old Lyman book but no 130 VLD info in it. 😁 You da man!

I have tons of 8208 XBR. Wonder how that would pan out. I bet it works good. I am going to load up ten and find out. I am also picking up two pounds of H4350 tomorrow.

I will buy the Lyman book instead.

If you want immediate results, or don't like spending the money on a reloading manual full of calibers you don't really care about, don't forget:

Reloading Data Center – Hodgdon Reloading Data Center

hodgdonreloading.com

Which will also get you close to what you'll need - at least to the point where you have a reliable and safe recipe.
