What powder for your 6mm Creedmoor

[Zhomeguy]

Pretty much all Creedmoor 22, 25, 6, n 6.5 H4350 is the go to, its always a good powder to keep on hand and a place to start in load development. My SS's or SAUM's RL26, and H1000 or N570 or N565 for magnums…

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

I run 42.5 grains of H4350 with the 103 ELDX in my Stiller Predator 6XC- 7.5 twist Schneider barrel , lights out for accuracy and death on feral hogs.

We are shooting Bergara b14 26" 1:8 loaded with 43.6 gr 6.5 staball with 108 eld seated 2.75" OAL. we are getting 3100. The Berger's needed a little more seating depth to get the accuracy we were looking for. Getting .25" spread at 100 yards. We have to be careful with our powder choices here in West Texas because of the temperature extremes. A lot of powders just won't work for us.

I've found that the Reloader powder Is just to hot for any shooting above 80*F. I've tried 17 & 19 but quickly shelved them. I'm thinking of trying some VV N-160 with my 109 Berger s

Try RE 16 and 23. They are the stabile Alliant powders

Their on my list. Waited 10 years to get Reloader powder. Will likely wait another 10 for 16&23

Didn't realize that I've already trialled N-160. (I really need to stay focused…neah!!).
Now I think I'll use it for deer season.

Im using 41.0grs of R16 with 210M primers with excellent results

Reloader 16 and H4350 are the best two powders for bullets in the 100-109 gr range for the 6CM. RL-16 gets a little more speed than H4350 with equal pressures. Both are very temp stable with RL-16 being slightly more temp stable.

StaBall 6.5 is good and relatively temp stable for a ball powder but not nearly as stable as RL-16 and H4350.

I used that with the DTACs and it was very accurate even at 1K yds.

Any thoughts on Varget?

I've been using superformace to push 115gr Berger's. There are many great options. Test several and see what works well in your gun.
