RL26 and 6.5 Creedmoor

I'm going to try loading some 110gr hh bullets for my daughters 6.5cm for pronghorn this year. I'm probably going to start with varget on suggestion. What seems to work best for accuracy 1st, speed 2nd if anyone has loaded for these pills? Varget, 4350, re16, re26?
 
I've used it in a 26" 6.5 CM with 130 JLK bullets and 130 ELD-M bullets 3100 fps is easy to obtain but found 3050 fps gave me best accuracy with both bullets. You could use it with a 124, just don't know where you would end up at best accuracy.
I also attached an email message from a member on accurate shooter forum that he received from Berger on the 130 gr.

Got 4lbs of the magical RL-26 fairy dust that everyone keeps talking about ( I found a place here in Houston with it in stock ). I wonna be right at 2850fps.
24" 1:8 twist
Lapua brass
Federal match small primers
Berger 135 classic hunters
OAL 2.826

I was currently running IMR-4955 but it's just not the most consistent.

You'll be at 2850 with your eyes closed. I run the 140 elite Hunter with incredible accuracy and speed. SD is super low at 3.6 and consistent. I run Peterson SRP brass with CCI SRP magnum primers. I've included a photo of my load data for you. Running 2992 FPS with no issues. Shoots 5 shot bug holes. I run this load in 2 different rifles, Savage model 10 FP and my Christensen Arms Ridgeline.
