What powder do you use in your 6 creedmoor?

[woodnut]

I love RL 19 in mine, but getting low and it's hard to find. I have RL 25, 17, 15,10 and 12; plus H4831SC. While I do have both kinds of 4350; I just would rather not got to it as it burns hotter. I think.
I get right at 3000fps with either 105s or 108s and great accuracy. So I'm looking to duplicate accuracy and speed.
Help!

H4350 got me 3050 with 105 hybrids and 2950 with 115 Berger's in Peterson brass. Temp stability is always an important thing to me. This was in a 22" barrel

I have a couple of 6 creeds that are using H4350 with Berger 105 or Hornady 108 all just over 3K with 24" barrels, I have primarily been using CCI large rifle primers as well.

H4350 & VVN555.
Shooters world sw4350 also works very well

Big Game has been a great performer and fairly easy to acquire lately

H4350.
Lapua SRP brass
Fed GM205M
105 Hyb

3188fps from a 24". Coming up on 1000 rounds down the barrel. Brass is 4-5x fired. Was banging 8" steel at 1030 yesterday with it.

H4350 burns cooler than RL19.

Just for info the H4350 is one of the coolest burning powders next too N165 , but I fill your pain of no Rl19 .H4831 might load close too Rl19.

Imr.4955, H4350, Staball 6.5. For the heavy H.1000, Imr.7977, H4831sc, check out Hodgdon 2022 manual. Happy shooting.

WoW! Thanks guys! This is a blessing to get. I don't know why , or where I got the info about 19 being cooler than 4350. Must have had my eyes crossed and was looking at 4895. At any rate, I have H4350 and KNOW it's a fine performer so will got there first.
BTW, my four rifles have 8 twists and 26" barrels. One, however, is a 7.5 twist.
Just fyi, I do shoot 41.5 of 19 and get right at 3K. I have seen a lot of reports on loads for the 6 creed and there's a lot of differing powders used successfully. It's THE easiest cartridge I have ever loaded.

It's a little bit counter-intuitive, but I had great velocity and accurcy results with Retumbo and 105 gr. Bergers.

Win 760 is like magic!

 

[woodnut]

760, eh? Wow, I like that idea! It goes to show how many powders work in the 6 creed. I think here is 8 powders?

I'm shooting 4350 in mine, and around 2880-2900 fps, and that's delivering .20 groups at 100, many double hole shots really impressed, Ah, the seeds are 143 ELD-X Hornady, and 140 HPBT BERGERS. and it's in a Bergara 6.5C , it shot .17 groups with Hornady stock ammo in the 143 ELD-X

H4831sc, LRP, Starline, 110SMK. 3000 fps for a great accuracy node, where that's just a great "cruise speed". I can, make it go faster, but this velocity and high BC bullet combination, is a laser in the wind.
