What powder for your 6mm Creedmoor

[cardon1122]

Using 41 gr H4350 with DTAC coated 115 grain bullets and Federal match primers and MV of 3140 fps. Groups great.

Also using Peterson brass and suppressor 1:7.5 twist.

I use 43.3gr of Reloder 23 with a 109gr Berger hybrid .189 freebore and get 3115fps in a 30" barrel.

 

[Huntz]

H4350,IMR 4350 or RL 16.

 

[WYMIKE]

Vihtavouri N 555 with Berger 108 Hunter Elite Lapua brass and Fed 205M

 

[340PR]

ran 4350 for two years, with 110SMK's
1:8 26" barrel
avg air temp 58 F (low-30, hi-92)
avg load 42.4gr (low-40.0, hi-42.7)
avg velocity 3140
FYI, never got the accuracy I was looking for, (also shoot 6.5CM, and do get accuracy I need).

40.9gr H4350 109 Berger hybrid Target Fed 210M Hornady brass because I bought a bunch of 108ELDM ammo. Replacing slowly with Peterson brass. The 108 ELDM bullets work too, but couldn't find any in stock. Tried IMR 4451 as a substitute. Wasn't the same.

H4350 is the standard in the creed case from 22-6-25-6.5 et el. But staball 6.5 has proven to be consistent, accurate, temp stable and provide additional velocity and is worth a look. Plus it's available most of the time.

H4350 running about 3045 FPS with 115 Berger and 22" barrel. 41.5 Gr, 7 twist. Built this rifle with help and guidance from the guys at Berger and Krieger Barrels. Rifle throated for 105-115 Bergers, will not load factory Hornady ammo, jams into the lands. I can literally clean the barrel with about 3-5 patches. Super clean burn with this powder. I've used some slower powder and patches come out black. Not here, super clean burn on the powder and easy to clean. Temp stable also. About 150 rounds down the tube.

H4350 is excellent for the Creed

I've used both RL26 and H4350 in my 22" 6mm creed. The H4350 actually gets me about 50 fps more in this rifle before pressure - first time I've ever seen that compared to RL26.

Both shoot 1/2 moa, with the RL26 being a little more accurate in the loads I've found so far.

My current load is 42.4gr of H4350, 105gr Berger hybrids, CCI200, 20 thou off the lands. I've shot whitetail, hogs, coyotes and Antelope with it - it's a great all around caliber that's easy for kids to shoot as well!

Im a big fan

Im looking in the direction of getting a 6mm Creedmoor and just wanted to know what powder you guys are using for your accuracy loads. I will be shooting either the 108 Bergers, 108 ELD, or the 103 ELD-X

Reloader 17 is awesome with the 103 ELD-X. However, if you want a better temp stable powder, someone mentioned H4350 right away, and I can tell you IMR4451 is a well-kept secret. Also out now is Vihtavuori's N555, but I still prefer 4451 to the 555 as of now. Will see if that changes with more types of bullets down range.

41.5 grains of RL17 with the 103 ELD-X generated 3165 ft/s with Hornady brass and a Fed 210M primer seated at .068" off lands at 97 degrees and likely 80% humidity. There was no signs of pressure and QuickLoad estimated just under 55,000psi (FWIW) from this 62,000 psi-capable cartridge in a stock Savage 110 Desert Tactical 26" barrel. Shots were duplicating velocity across the chrono, so single digit ES in mid summer Deep South.

Yeah I've used StaBall. I love it. Have data if interested.

Do tell. I picked up 5lbs of this preemptively for our 6cm build for the GF and mom. Went CarbonSix finished at 22" and plan to try and get 108s to 3100, which is the main reason I went with StaBall.

 

[17remhunter]

Wow almost a .070 bullet jump with the ELD never would have guess that. Just out of curiocity has anyone taken an Elk, cow or bull with the 6 cm?
StaBall powder was reading up on that last night sound interesting I try and stay away from temp sensitive powders and used H4350 in my 6.5 CM I use H 4895 in my !7 Rem alsom
