Great video Rob I have a 6mm creed also and like you used n555 and 108 gr berger . My sweetspot was 41.5 but powder charges either side where also good ,very similar results as you got there. Lapua brass cci 400 sr primers . N555 certainly seems the way to go with 6 mm creedmoor .
Looks great from here. Almost 3,000 fps and 107s. Good stuff. You mentioned before that this powder is temp stable. If so, this is promising for a hunting combo with a hunting bullet in these weights.
I’ve never used the Sierra 107’s or N555, but I shoot the 108 Hornady’s in my 6mm creedmoor, and it seems to like right around 2950 fps in that weight class of bullet. My barrel has a 1:7 twist, and loves the 115 DTAC’s at about that velocity also.
This is an 8 twist so limited to basically the bullets under 110gr. First groups I've ever shot with the smk as well. Seems like a decent bullet. Ive been impressed so far with n555
If your going as light as 95 I wouldn't go with the big 6 creed. Too much capacity for powder in my opinion. I would go with one of the smaller 6mm, GT comes to mind. Less powder, less heat and plenty of velocity for 95gr. Feeds from a standard mag.
The New "Tipped", 107 SMK's shoot, One Hole Group's, in the Low 2's, ( 5 shots ) when, "Jammed", Lightly, into the Lands @ 1.5 grains, under Max of, StaBall 65, in my 6 XC Criterion Barrel.
Another awesome video, Rob. It's always interesting to see the variance when you work up differing loads during development. Very cool.

Thanks for 6 Creed data.

I feel ya on the weather yesterday was the first time I've shot in awhile 6 creedmoor also but with 87gr working up a coyote load

A couple promising groups there!
I'm curious what the barrel life will be.
Do a seating depth test with 41.6
6 creed with the 95gr LRX is very attractive to me for hunting. Wondering about a long skinny barrel for it - any thoughts?

I’d get better primers. That’s a lot of powder for that weak cci400 to ignite.
