6.5 creedmor ammo

[SDBlaster]

I just got my first 6.5 creedmor bolt precision gun. I would like some suggestions on good ammo as I have zero experience with this round. I run gorilla ammo for my .308 and am looking for something similar, accurate and reasonably priced (reasonable for good ammo); Thanks

I just got a RPR myself. I'm using Hornady 140 gr ELD-M Match ammo right now. Eventually I'll reload for it.

I'm building up a 6.5 and will be looking at Hornady Ammunition as well as Creedmoor Sports.

We've had the best results out of a Savage 10BA Stealth running Hornady 140gr ELD match. YMMV

Suggestions:

Hornady 140 ELD Match or

Prime OTM 130 gr (https://www.primeammo.com/ammunition/6-5-creedmoor.html)

Best bang for the buck: Hornady American Gunner

Brownells - HORNADY AMERICAN GUNNER AMMO 6.5MM CREEDMOOR 140GR BOAT TAIL HOLLOW POINT



On sale right now for $46.99 for a box of 50. That's less than $1.00 per round!

Thanks i ordered a couple hundred rounds of the 140m grain eld match.

Second question anyone have a recommendation on zero distance? I figured 100 yards but was looking at a ballistic calculator and maybe somewhere around 30yrd zero might be better? any thoughts?

Usually you zero at 100yd so your dope is easy to work out and dial.

Prime ammo is lights out at 200yds. Furthest I have tested.
