6.5 Creedmoor Powder

[cr5]

Just picked up a new Remington 700 barreled action in 6.5CM, threw it into an AICS 1.5 chassis and will be stealing a scope off of whatever sells first of the two rifles I have for sale.
Looking forward to working up a load.
Can't find H4350 anywhere though

Using superformance with 120gr AMAX with great results
Reloder19 with 140gr Berger VLD hunting
And H4350 with 143gr ELD X

All shot thru 2 different RPRs

If you don't mind, what is your recipe for the 143 ELD X/H4350 loads? I'm planning on reloading some for my brother but my Hornady 9th edition doesn't have them and I'm not going to buy the 10th for one load.

Cheers! Scott

somewhere in the 40-42gr range should be where a guy will find a load

My buddy has had the best results from H4350 in his CM.

Just picked up two pounds of IMR4451 and a couple hundred Barnes 140 match and some 140gr SMK's for the bolt action. Hopefully it likes the Barnes, they were a good price

YUP H4350 is the standby powder for the 6.5 CM RJ

Budget shooter supply has a bunch of H4350. He will ship it CANpar and it doesn't cost a lot to ship. They even had some 8lbers

I just did some loads after talking directly to Hornandy. They suggested .020-.025 off lands and 41.5 gr H4350( but starting at 39). That is what the guys that work there use apparently. FYI Their powder used in the precision hunter with 143 Gr ELD-X is some proprietary blend.

I tried some loads at .025 off lands with 41 -42.5 gr h4350 in Hornandy brass and 143 ELD-X. It was stupidly accurate. had 0.25 MOA at 200 yds using a X-bolt with 26in barrel. approx. 2770 FPS. If I put that rifle in a vice Im pretty sure at 200yds it would be a clover leaf. The reason I didn't get that was all on me as I couldn't keep it steady enough.
My worst group was still 0.77 MOA which is something that never really happens to me.
