D4350sc loads like Rl19. I doubt you'll get enough in that creedmoor case to see decent speeds. Starvin loaded it successfully in a 300 wm a few pages back.
If you need to load a Dominion powder in a 6.5 creedmoor, try 4064sc.
Hoping the D4064 comes back into stock soon.
........ Hark, a Fudd draweth nigh.
The 4064ssc is turning out to be a pretty great powder so far. Only loading it in .308 for now but it's good stuff. Doesn't meter well from an RCBS thrower, I'm hoping the Dillon thrower works adequately for bulk 150grn FMJ ammo.
I have have pretty good luck with 145 147 get bullets and D4350SSC around 42.5 to 44 gr
Can get you with a 24-26 inch barrel around 2725 to 2815
It is a compressed load and one rifle likes 44.1gr other it was touch to hot and liked 43-43.5gr both sub moa
I'm loading 45 grains and not compressing the powder. I do tap the case as I'm filling though.
My latest test. D4350ssc.
Gun:
Rem 783, 6.5 Creedmore 24" heavy barrel
Ammo:
Virgin Hornady 6.5 Creedmore brass. Trimmed to 1.910.
Weighed and sorted to .5gr
Fed 210M primer
140gr Hornady SST weighed and sorted. Within .5gr (I wanted to use these up)
2.690coal.
Charges weighed on a RCBS 5-0-2 scale
18C at 300' elevation.
Labradar speeds 10 shots each load. Which was verified with my known 308 load.
Load A:
41gr IMR 4350
Avg 2567
Hi. 2593
Lo. 2548
ES. 45
Load B:
41gr D4350ssc LOT 25
Avg 2450
Hi. 2475
Lo. 2432
ES. 43
The ES seems high.
Only did 10 shots today as I didn't think there was any need to get a larger sample for these 2.
As for accuracy. Neither.
I added the 7828 as it is the only SSC I have.
I would say the D4350ssc is a considerably slower powder. Maybe even closer to 4831 or RL19 as some have already suggested. I had some IMR 4831 loaded up but not that low.
Even the IMR4350 is 150fps slower than the Hornady book using the same ingredients. Hornady shows 42grs of IMR4350 as a max load.
I will try the 300 win next. Just I had my scope lens fall out so it is in for warranty. Might be a month or 2.

D4350ssc lot 25.
Added it to the post. They are in the other tests. Missed this one I guess.
Do you need the lot# of the IMR powders?
