Powder for 6.5 creedmoor and 143gr horn-eld-x

[doubletall]

I have the same rifle and use the same bullet and like everyone else I've had good results with H4350 but I haven't been able find it on the shelves for months.  I've been using IMR4451 with similar velocity and accuracy and it's been pretty easy to find locally.

I purchased a bunch awhile back (H4350). I use it in 9 different chamberings. Great stuff!

I use 43.2gr of superformance on 143gr eld-x. I shoot it out of an 18" barrel with a suppressor attached.

Hodgdon recently shipped a very large supply of H4350 to distributors. Keep your eyes open.

4831 and RL26 seem to work well in the 260 Rem shooting the heavies and with the 6.5 Creed being a ballistic twin to the 260, those same powders should be top performers in the Creed too.  In fact RL26 seems to be taking over as the go to powder that H4831 once was.

RL26 is some pretty amazing stuff for performance.  It turned my 264WM into a 26Nosler.  I talked to the techs at Alliant about it's temp stability.  They call it a temp stable "wannabe".  Meaning it's not temp stable but it's pretty predictable.  But it is not even close to the temp stability of H4831 or H4350.

Very true, when it comes to temp stability, nothing, is as temperature stable as H4350.

tagging - lots good info in this old thread.

My 1st stab at reloading the 6.5 CM.  Some 129g SP with RL15 & some 143 ELD-X with H4350. 

Now I need to find a place to shoot them.

Also @bknilvr00 for load data.

Those of you using RL26 - where do you find load data?

A lot of guys are just making up data. Start around 44.0gr of reloader 26 and work up. Be prepared for heavily compressed loads though. I doubt you can cram enough of it in the case to get in too much trouble.
