Tikka CTR 20" 6.5 Creed help...

[MATADOR]

Me and my 14 yr old son are shooting our first local PRS match soon and with work I just don't have time to mess with any more load work up. If anyone is willing to share what bullet/load is working in their CTR it would be much appreciated.

I have H4350 and 140 and 142 Sierra MK's, a few Lapua Scenar 139's and some Hornady 140 HPBT.

41.5 H4350 looks promising looking at old targets but I was curious if anyone had anything better.

Thanks all if you can help.

45.8 grains seems to be quite a stretch. You sure that isn't a typo?

I ran 41.6g of H4350 in my Tikka pushing 142 SMKs and it did well.

Worked up in my rifle and works fine. This is about 1gr before i get pressure signs. Obviously people should work up loads to suit their particular setup. Keep in mind I'm running a 123gr pill.

Out of my Tikka T3x TacA1 6.5 Creedmoor:

Prime/Norma or Hornady Brass
Sierra 142SMK
41.3-41.5 H4350
Federal 210M or BR2 primer
Anywhere between 2.79 and 2.88 OAL and you're in business.

200 yards

I have a 24“ but 40.9g of H4350 under Hornady ELD M 140g are putting down .30-.50 MOA groups at 100 yards all day long. If my groupa get to .50 I’m doing something wrong. It’s a magical combo
