I recently picked up a 6.5tcu and need some help. I want to shoot a 120gr bullet and use RL7 or 748 for powder. I use these powders for most of my shooting.

Max charge of 748 in the t/c manual is 27.6 gr. at 2100 fps.
Max charge of Re-7 is 22.2 at 2050 fps.

Work up to 27.5 grains 748. Use a WSR primer. Seat bullet out about .010" from lands if possible. (pending on throat of your barrel) Should give you a good accurate load.
