4350 should work fine with the heavier Hammers, such as the 124 HH. I use RL16 with that one.
Beam almost disowned me when he found out I rebarreled a 243 to the Creed. I'm threatening to go visit him, bring my Creed and make him shoot it.

H4350+ is for 140gr. bullets.
You "can" run it for the lighter bullets but powders suggested in this post have proven better results for lighter .264/6.5 bullets.
I use H4350 and Varget for everything with the Hammers so yes is the answer with the 140+ and varget for anything lighter than that

Hey bean can you give me some data points on the 85 vs the 97 absolute? Speed wise. I've been really trying to pin down my 97 load but it requires a faster powder and that led to a adjustable gas block. The speed difference could at least be compared between the two in even a different caliber.
If I used the 85 it's shorter than the 99 so I could get more xbr in the case and keep a full cases the 97 i needed rl10 because it was more dense.

With 110's I got to just over 3200 with StaBall in a 20" barrel. Same idea for wife's gun 300yrds and in. Not shot a deer with those yet since I still have 135 Berger's but I worked up a hammer load because they are available just in case.

I get single digit ES with RL16 and the 124. Velocity is 3033 fps. Varget will be your powder of choice. Steve has always recommended it with the 124 HH. I never could get it when doing load work ups, so I used what I had, which was RL16.
I used BL-C(2) with the 123 Absolute. Got 100 fps more with it over the 124 HH, but accuracy was a little better with the 124 HH.
Honestly look at the 109 Absolute. It's my go to bullet in my 6.5-284….. it's a laser beam (3511 fps) and extremely devastating on game. I may switch to that bullet in my Creed in the future.
