Ok guys so I recently picked up a savage Model 10 fcp -sr 6.5 Creedmoor. It will be here this week I am super excited about it. Questions what factory ammo are you guys running in your 6.5 Creedmoor's I have a box of Hornday Match right now. Any thoughts or tips about how I can get the most accuracy out of this I would greatly appreciate thanks guys!
New caliber First target ish rifle?

I assume the Hornady you have is 140 ELD-M? Lots of other people have had good luck with the 130 OTM offering from Prime. My 20 in. Tikka doesn't shoot it as well as the Hornady, but some rifles shoot it really well. I have a custom build arriving in a few weeks, and I will definitely try both of these rounds through it.
The 140gr ELD-M worked best in my 6.5CM. The Prime ammo was OK but the Hornady was noticeably better in my rifle. Try a few different flavors. It's the only way to know.
I've always hand loaded but from watching friends who have ran factory 6.5 Creedmoor ammo, the best was always Prime then Hornady behind that. I've never seen lower SD numbers in factory ammo than I have in Prime. Also, if you plan to reload, probably the best quality brass you'll get from factory stuff.

Every type that you can get your hands on, don't assume that what works for someone else will work for you. More importantly don't assume that what doesn't work for someone elses rifle won't work for yours.
In addition to whats already been listed as far as factory ammo, doesn't Nosler have a 6.5 CM offering? Can't remember if it was them or something else I'm thinking of...?
