[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2132813, member: 48043"] The old tan paper IMR freebee load data listed nearly IMR powder with every cartridge available at the time. It was a bit odd to see 1/2 and 2/3 case worth of powder called for but most of the loads worked alright. I'm pretty sure the creed wasn't around when that data was out but the 260 or at least 6.5x55 probably were shown. As others have said there are far better powders available now for reduced loading. You risk issues associated with very low powder levels like delayed fire and big vel. swings depending on powder position. Dacron can fix a bit of that but it can mess up a rifle too if not used correctly. [/QUOTE]
