6.5 Creedmoore

The ongoing powder shortage emergency might prevent access to H4350 and RL16, two of my favorite powders for loading the 6.5X47L & .260 with 130-140 bullets. The 6.5 CM likes the same powders also. In the likely event of failure to find H4350 or RL16 try Alliant 4000MR. 4000MR is sort of like RL19 in burn rate, is a formed ball powder of medium density and be a good fit.
 
I wouldn't rule out h4831 for 140 class bullets either. I was going to do some testing with it. Have heard some very positive results from others. I still have about 20lbs of surplus powder from WW2 my dad left me that still shoots awesome.
 
Anything noteworthy on 6.5 Staball powder. I'm wanting to shoot 110-120gr mono's with it.
What little info I've heard has been really mixed.
Hopefully more shooters have tried it and more data will come forth
