went ahead and bought a box to test in my 6.5 Creedmoor. Looking at the Hornady data, looks like the 140gr data should work.
RE; RL-15
H4350
4451
Anyone having success with this bullet in their 6.5 Creedmoor?

So far so good. The cute little red bag (kind of like a crown royal bag) that comes with the bullets in nice. They could have saved a few bucks on the bullets if they didn't package each of the bullets individually.

One thing I know for sure is that Buzz is going to go through a detailed, methodical approach to finding JUST the right load for these new bullets...

They could have saved a few bucks on the bullets if they didn't package each of the bullets individually. Well the 50 cal al tipped A-Max come in basically a ammo box each in it's own hole in the box like some of their ammo but then again they cost more than most Hornady ammo for a 20 bullet box.

Combine a bullet that is that pretty along with the 6.5 Creedmoor heck just fill the case up with Quaker oat's and it will shoot great!

The best groups I get with 140 Accubonds is with H414. I haven't tried RL-15 yet. Probably won't. The H414 is just to darn good.
