6.5 Creedmoor

[BAgun]

Does anyone have suggestions for the best powder to use for 140gr 6.5 Creedmoor?

H4350 is choice 1, 2 and 3

IMR4451 is choice 4

Varget works well with up to 130gr bullets, but you'll give up a little velocity compared to 4350 in a 24"+ barrel.

Thanks for the info. Seems like every I look, it's sold out. Typical.

This is not correct. H4350 is at least choice 1-5, and possibly 6th as well.

Have you all had much difference in luck between H4350 and IMR4350? I've done some load development in my 6.5 with IMR4350 and never found a good node. I haven't done anything with H4350.

H4350 is widely accepted as the best for 140s. Others do it well, but 140 is widely accepted as the best for different rifles and bullets in the 140...

I'm not sure what we sold today, but we have had H4350 in 1# and 8# containers on the shelf for over a month straight. We have been getting low on it now though.

reloader 16 is a good one with 140

My first choice is H4350.

After that, SW4350 and 6.5 StaBall
