Anyone loaded the Hornady 160 grain RN .264 in the 6.5 Creedmoor?

[horsemen61]

Hey guys I am
Looking at building a special short range deer load for the 6.5 Creedmoor as in 100 yards and in these are for Big North Mo Bucks and No I don’t have the option of using something else so my question is has anyone loaded these with any sucess? If so what powder I have quite a few to chose from powder wise so any thoughts would be appreciated


Thank you

The 120 grain Barnes TTSX bullet over the most suitable powder you have ...

Look at the Barnes data and pick a powder you have...

I haven't but like you I'd find a way. Which powder are you using, and do you plan to load long and single feed or are there mag length requirements. Those are sweed bullets, I wish I had an acceptable trade.

A buddy gave me a box of those same bullets. I've not shot any of them though. The Hornady app shows several loads for them, including the usual powders like Varget, 3 of the 4350's, etc.

Those have been discontinued and I can't find a suitable round nose 6.5 to replace it.
They are the accurate bullet for my 1903 M/S and Swedish Krag.

Although I haven't used them in a Creedmoor, they do work well on deer!

As far as I know they haven’t been discontinued I’ve bought some this year alone
