New to the forum, sorry if this should be posted elsewhere.

Putting together a Ruger American Predator (22" barrel) build in 6.5 Creedmoor. Planning to use Hornady 140gr ELD Match ammo and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this combo? Specifically looking for ballistics and drop data for a benchmark to get started and eventually compare my experiential data against.

Thanks in advance, and let me know if you have any questions or need any more info!

Edit: Hornady's ballistics data for the round was based on a 24" barrel.

Just drop 50 fps from the published data based on a 24" barrel and work from there.
That will get you in the ballpark but will no more replace chrono data from the actual rifle and lot of ammo you would be using than taking data from someone else's rifle and ammo lot.
