    Welcome sureshot, we actually have an Ammunition/Reloading Sub-Forum here. https://www.savageshooters.com/forum...-amp-Reloading

    There is quite a bit of 6.5CM Data to be found...it’s a crowd pleaser here.

    Hodgdon and Nosler both have data online, of you don't have a any manuals.
    I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

    Do you have bullets? Powder or primers? Or are you asking about components also?
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    I’m going to be running 143 grain ELD-x and I bought H4350 and Staball 6.5

    Had great results with H4350 and I think you will be very pleased with the 143 ELD-X bullets.

    If you have a factory 12 FV, there is lots of load data at:
    https://www.savageshooters.com/showt...-5mm-Creedmoor

    I found that the factory stock flexed because it didn't have an aluminum stiffener, so I replaced it with an Oryx.
    The results can be found at:
    https://www.savageshooters.com/showt...-5mm-Creedmoor

    I also compiled all the results over 22 months at:
    https://www.savageshooters.com/showt...999#post481999

    Hope this helps and saves you lots of time and money.
    Note: not every rifle barrel will perform exactly the same.
    I have tested 3 6.5mm Creedmoors - two performed pretty much the same and shot heavier bullets best, the other shot lighter bullets better.
    The only way you will find out will be to test your rifle.

    +1.

    Might want to investigate Hodgdon Superformance powder also.

    Sierra has an online PDF for the 6.5 Creedmoor

    My final solution using Hornady brass and a heavy varmint Criterion 8 twister to achieve
    1" groups at 300 yards.

    BR2 primer
    42 grs Reloder 16
    140 gr Nosler RDF.

    Note..... .205" throat, .005" off the lands, .0015 measured neck tension.
