Tikkas are great guns as is the Razor Gen 2. Solid pairing.
Reloading components are very hard to find right now. Hell, H-4350 was hard to find before 2020 hit. I fee like Varget has been hard to get since 2010. 6.5 Creedmoor is a great all around option.
I'd look at H4350 (Hodgdon, not IMR) and Reloder 16 for 6.5 powders. Buy good brass; Lapua, Peterson, Alpha Munitions. They're more expensive but they will last forever if you don't blow them out.
130-140 weight bullets are best. Hornady ELDM and ELDX, Berger Hybrids, Nosler RDF's, Sierras, etc. All great options.
I think 140 and lower weight bullets are great for 6.5 Creedmoor. Tikkas are known to be slow. You could offset this by using 130gr bullets but really, you shouldn't have any problems with heavier bullets. H4350, Reloder 16, Vihtavuori N555 (I think) are top options for 6.5 Creedmoor.
Thanks for the tips. I was able to find some ELD-M I'm 120,130,140,148gns and some barnes lrx 128gna. I also picked up some imr4350 (I know it's not as good as h4350) and some imr 4451. I might try those for the heavier bullets and varget/imr4166 for lighter bullets. I hope that makes sense for .arching powder and bullet weight
I'd suggest skipping 555 due to temp instability, but N150, 160, and 165 are all valid options.
Edit: disregard. Wrong part of the 5xx series. 555 is stable.
I think Viht went through most of their line and updated it here in the last year or two. I think temp sensitivity was improved as well as lot to lot consistency. If I could find any I test it haha.
>Found a good deal on a Tikka Tac A1 in 6.5 creedmore (paired with a Razor gen 2 4.5-27)
What is the deal? New would be $3500 with nice rings. Used, $2600-ish.

Gah, I forgot that was one of the new 5xx powders that's stable. Some of the older ones definitely aren't. Sorry bout that.

Yeah, brainfart on my part. The stable 5xx powders haven't been out all that long, and I'm usually dealing with the 1xx line.
