6.5 creedmoor with 100 ELD-M

I tried 4166 with 130's and 140 hybrids on match rifle and the speed was not as good as varget, the heavies most of the time have liked slower powders, with varget being the tried and true powder with my 47's, 4166 seams to pressure up quicker

I keep looking for an alternative to my H4350 for my Ackley with 30 inch but I love what I have but will keep my ear to the ground.
 
Grain for grain loads to h4350, my barrel couldnt tell the difference at 1100da and 80 degrees , 42.6 in a 6.5 creed was the ticket and 140 hybrid

I'm at 45.6 in my Ackley with a little seating crunch and a jump of .052. Seems like a normal load, not hot at all. Bullet is naked!
 
6.5 mm 100 grainer wins again! Match rifle with 100's is slowly but surely becoming my favorite varmint smoker!

We shot them by the barrel full with 243/60 sierras when I was a young man. That is a great looking result with the bigger bullet!!
