What ammo is best for my 6.5

Only your rifle can tell you that. Depends on what your intended use is (hunting, target shooting)? Many have had good luck with Hornady Factory Ammo. They have an American Gunner line with 140 bthp that you may be able to find in 200 round bulk packs. This is not a hunting bullet, however.

It’s a bad time to be trying to source factory ammo, even for 6.5 creedmoor. But, as said above, your rifle will tell you. That said, I have been very pleased with Hornady match 147 grain eld-m, as well as federal gold medal Berger 130 grain ammunition.
 
I ran some factory ammo across my chronograph for shits and giggles. These were only 5 shot strings.

Berger 140: 2822 average w/ an SD of 22.8

Hornady Eldm 140: 2695 average w/ an SD of 19.6

Sig 140: 2800 average w/ an SD of 14.8
 
Any body have experience with HSM Game King 6.5Creed 140Gr Spitzer Boat Tail GameKing? Opinions?

I bought 2 boxes for my sons .243. I was not impressed with the performance one bit. I couldnt get it under 2 MOA. This was 7 years ago now so it might have been a bad lot or they may have improved the quality. I haven't tried HSM after that.
