[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2278146, member: 116181"] I think IMR 4350 would be significantly better. So would Hybrid 100V, or even Ramshot Hunter. Ramshot is dropping a lot of powder lately, I got another pound of Hunter from Powder Valley today along with full 8# kegs of LRT and H100V. IMR 4350 was up also. 6.5 Creedmoor, 22" barrel, Hornady 143 ELD-X, IMR 4350, 39.0gn got me 2560fps. That was very mild and was actually where I started for the first loads shot from the rifle. Started at 2418 and settled in at 2560 ~100 rounds later. I stayed there because it shot fine and was used for culling whitetail at 100 yards or closer, no need to burn up components finding anything faster. Hybrid 100V is marked a few steps slower on the chart (for what that's worth), but got up over 2750fps with the 140gn ELD-M in a 6.5CM, 24" barrel. Ramshot Hunter is again a few more steps slower than 100V, and it got clocked pushing Barnes 140 Match Burners at 2842fps from a 6.5CM, 24" barrel, CCI 450. I got very uncomfortable with this load, left a fairly clear ejector ring on ~50% of the cases while turning in a 10-shot 9.9 SD in 95°+ weather (that shot string was were the 2842 average came from). I thought that was impressive for a ball powder that hot, but the variable pressure signs were odd and didn't correlate between FPS and signs. Shot that load out to 1200 yards, drops were pretty much right on in my AB app. A4350 hasn't been on my list to buy, but if I can score 2# I'll try to run a 140 or 143 over it and see what happens.
