Hi All
I am looking for advice for load data for a 6.5 Creedmore using AR2209 and 143GR ELD-x Projectiles, and advice will be much appreciated.

Any data for 140gn jacketed bullets is fine. With AR2209 you'll be working in the 36gn to 42gn realm depending on how long you can seat the bullet. AR2209 is sold in the US as H4350 so there will be lots of data around.

Dont be afraid to incrementally test loads above the book limit .. using small increments and checking the primer condition after each shot.

Take note if you experience difficulty raising the bolt handle, see excessively flattened primers or perforated primers or ejector marks (it takes a serious examination to see these). These are signs that your load is getting too hot and you should back off the charge weight.

Mate I load these exact projectiles out of my Creedmoor using 41.5 gn of AR2209. I have the projectiles seated at the advertised COAL. Rifle is a Sako A7, load is very accurate.
