[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1895653, member: 38048"] So someone ask for a ladder for 6creed with rl26. I don't shoot the 6 Creed anymore so I don't have that data. But I know you won't find more velocity with any other powder. 105s will easily do 3350 in the Creed. As far as rl16 goes I tried a bunch of it in a few cartridges and it's almost a substitute for h4350. H4350 just seemed easier to tune for me and my load stays tuned better. Some friends are using 16 with good results. The regular 243 is a barrel burner. The flame from it hits directly on the throat. If you do a 243ai and use h1000 you will see more than double the barrel life. Just read up on the 6compatition match. It's a 243i used for 1000yard and gets incredible barrel life.
