Anyone reloading 6.5 Creedmoor

[emapples]

I am just curios how many people are out there hand loading 6.5 Creedmoor, trying to find out what the cost advantages might be if there are any.

Discounting reloading equipment the cost of "first time" reloading for the Creed would be roughly $1.64 per round (Lapua brass, Hornady 130gr ELD Match bullet, 42.5gr H4350 & CCI primer). Cost would continue to drop with each subsequent reloading due to brass reuse.

The major benefit that is not factored in the cost is the development of a custom load for your particular rifle that will undoubtedly out perform store bought "match ammo".

BUT.....and this is a big but, you may find yourself shooting more once you develop a load that shoots very well. Now you're shooting more with your hand loads than you might have with store bought ammo. Hence, spending more and more on reloading supplies.

I was more interested in buying from someone that already reloads , don't know anoth the legality of it yet

Due to liability I doubt you'll find many takers unless you have a buddy that would do it.

This place has a large assortment of loadings:
