[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2692618, member: 115658"] I use available, cheap (under $37 per LB), & suitable powders for my 6.5 CM. The 6.5 CM has a limited case capacity & not much bulky extruded slow burning powders will fit. I shoot lots of 6.5 120 ELDM bullets with 47.0 grains of RS Hunter with velocities close to 3,000. Stocks of small rifle primers are much more abundant than large rifle primers. Small rifle primer of choice for RS Hunter & StaBall is the Rem 7 1/2. AA 4350 gives good result with near 100% capacity with 130's & CCI 41's. Win StaBall has proven to be a good powder in the 6.5CM with 130 ELDM's. Attached is a prelim run of 5, accuracy good considering Magneto Speed hanging off barrel; five rounds not enough for good stats but will plan to shoot & chony more when it warms up. Easy smooth bolt opening & no enlarged primer pockets or primer cratering. Extruded powders slower than the 4350's are saved for 6.5-06 loads. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (537).png"]420689[/ATTACH] In my 6.5X47 Lapua RL 15 was the velocity champion with 130's. I would use it or RL 15.5 with 100's against rodents in the 6.5 CM.
