I've found published data on Hodgdon's website, but from what I can gather there is not any other published data available? Sierra's latest manual has nothing. Does anyone have a manual that shows any Creedmoor load data?

Not wanting anyone to offer up the data ... I'll gladly purchase a manual if there is one out there that has anything in it.
 
THANKS gentlemen!

Just downloaded the Hornady manual to my Kindle for $19.00

Didn't find anything on Sierra's website, and their 5th Edition doesn't list it.
 
I asked the same question last week and was surprised at the lack of it. I just bought the new sierra and I expected it to be in it but nope. All I have found was the nosler and ramshot. Glad to see a few more were found.

Working on loads in buddies LRP this eveing. We are using varget (all we have currently) Hornady Cases, CCI primers, and 140 Hybrids. I will not be able to chrony for few weeks if I make it to next shoot, but will see what I come up as far as accuracy this evening.

That explains it, I have to admit I didn't look that deeply into it, wasn't planning on starting a petition or anything.

Maybe Sierra is due for an update...

I think more companies than sierra needs an update!
 
Took my buddies Savage 12 LRP 6.5 Creed out last night for first time. We threw some loads together for it with Varget and 140 Hybrids. Starting at 36 gr, we made a few extra to get it sited in, then shot m4 shot groups in .5 gr incriments up to 38, as I wasn't sure where to start or stop.

Needless to say we found a sweet spot.

38gr varget
140 VLD Hybrid
Hornady Brass
CCI Primer
2.870 OAL

4 Shots @ .363

Not bad for gun out of the box and 30 rounds down tube.
