[QUOTE="just_jon, post: 1927336, member: 112153"] I don‘t generally buy 8 pounders for experimentation. I did that with my 6.5 creed and found my rifle did not prefer H4350. Low ES/SD, but accuracy was not where I was with other powders. Luckily, it found a home in several others chamberings. Once I select a bullet, I look for a couple of powders with a max load with a load density of >95% and load 10 rounds starting at max and dropping down .2 or .3 grains for each of the remaining 9. i generally start with the bullet seated .020” off the lands. I willI then shoot Over a chronograph at 100 yards starting with the lightest load and working up to max looking for pressure signs and trying to identify a speed node like shots 4, 5 and 6 below from a recent test with a friend‘s 6.5 creed and StaBALL 6.5.
