RL10X for a 6.5 Creedmoor?

[RODSTRADLEY]

Looking at my powder inventory and have more than enough of RL 10X. So has any body ever thought about it?
Or am I the first that has thought about it. burn rate129 Alliant Reloder 15 and 104 for Reloder 10X.
Is that to fast for the 6.5 CM?

yeah, that will be too fast. I briefly used that and RL7 for light bullets in a 6BR

Too fast for the creed. The creed really shines with rl-16 or h4350 burn rates

Yes Sir I thought it was to fast, it was just a thought but I can't get any powser around here ( closed, none essential ) so Varget will have to do. Thanks for the tip!

What about 15 with lighter bullets. Seems it's on par with varget so I'm giving 15 a whirl with the 123gr hammers

Never mind just saw the date. Dang related thread section.

Son and I tested a number of powders in his 6.5 CM.
RL-16 is good but cant get enough in the case. Reloder 17 is good with heavys as is H-4350. Another we tested that did well was Leverevolution which gave good speed at lower pressure and accuracy on par with 4350. Although Ive not tried it yet, RL-15.5 should be a good one, at least with the 120 gr class bullets. I do lots of powder testing.

I'm sure rl-15 would work with lighter bullets. However most people shooting the creed are shooting 140 class and higher.

My comment was for 140+ class bullets. Most people shooting a creed are shooting 140 class bullets. But yes I'd agree with 120s rl-16 may not work.

Rl 15 is about the same burn rate as varget and will work for it but velocity will be a tad slow.

Some of my best groups were fired with powders that were considered fast for the cartridge. For instance, my 243 with a hornady 100 gr SPBT shoots under .1 with 35.5 gr of IMR-3031 with excellent speed. Dont sell them short. How many faster powders have you actually tested in your rifle? I like to think outside the hype

I was thinking rl15 and 123gr absolute hammers. I shooting the 124 with varget now.
