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.
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:

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:

I also compiled all the results over 22 months at:

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.I’m going to be running 143 grain ELD-x and I bought H4350 and Staball 6.5
Might want to investigate Hodgdon Superformance powder also.
Sierra has an online PDF for the 6.5 Creedmoor
