I have run the S&B 6.5 FMJs to over 800 yards at K&M in my AO 65CM. It is possibly the "best" cheap 65CM. Pre COVID buying it cheaper than I could reload plus the brass is good. It punches above its price point.

I ran the Hornady American Gunners to 1000 yards at K&M with the instructors telling me it was not good enough. Just shooting PRS style steel plates fine with me.

Nosler has their 140 Custom Competition projectiles on sale if you reload (and have primers!).

Seems like there is more 6mm Creedmoor factory ammo available right now than 65CM
 
Most guys that reload find 43-ish gr. Of H4350 under a Hornady or berger match bullet yield stupid good results. I believe my pet load is 43.1 IMR 4451 140gr Barnes match burner.

For non reloaders the 143 eld Hornady match is solid. After that, eh. Berger or federal gold with the berger bullets. Never shot either but I imagine they are quite ok
