The 6.5 Creedmoor has a reputation for being an easy cartridge to develop an accuracy load for. I've found this to be true in my case, however that's with the caveat of only trying five powders and nine different bullets of various brands, weights and designs for only 800+ shots. Even the worst groups were well under an inch at 100m regardless of load I tried. Obviously though, Wingman's experience differs and he's done a very fine job of explaining his intelligent and methodical approach to come up with an accuracy load that suits his particular rifle. You may find your 6.5 Creedmore, if you obtain one, equally as frustrating or equally as easy I did to find a good accuracy node for the bullet you want to use.
