I always used IMR 4831 with 130-160gr bullets with great velocity and accuracy. I believe H4350 is another good one

Alliant Reloder 26 really boosts this cartridge velocities with 129 - 140 grain bullets.

H4831(SC), great for me using Hornady 140/160's.

H4350.

I tried RL22, did not particularly like the groups I got with 140 Noslers.

 

[Chuckbuster]

I use H4350 in both my 6.5X55 and my 6.5 Creedmoor.

RE#22 then IMR 4350 all u need.

 

[mad max78]

H4831sc
Tempted to try Viht N560

 

[Ganderite]

I used 4831 and RL22

 

[DaveMachine]

Great results with RL22 and H4831(SC). 46.4gr of RL22 behind a 140gr bullet of some sort is a magic load.

For 6.5x55, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 260 I’ve had great results with H4350. Its also very temperature stable which is important when you’re shooting anywhere from -30 to +30.

Imr 7828 for me

Re23, Re26, Re25, and H1000, in that order of Burn Rate. The last three can be loaded to a full case, and Re26 is the one that will produce the highest MV. Accuracy is dependent on your particular rifle and load.

Oldie but goodie is IMR 4895

That one was best with light varmint bullets in most guns.Your mileage may vary.

H4350 outshot Re 19, RE 22 , and IMR 4831 in all of my Swedes, both military actions and commercial actions using bullets in the 129 to 140 grain range.

H4831(SC), great for me using Hornady 140/160's.

I'll second or third this option.

Granted, I'm using this in a 29in barreled M96, but 4831 works very well in a heavy bullet/long barrel combo.

I've tried IMR 4350, RL22 and H4831SC with 139gr Lapua Scenar and 140gr Hornady BTHP with good result. My favorite out of the 3 is H4831SC because it flows very good in my powder thrower and it gave me the best group.

Rl 22 and n560

Norma used N204 in their factory offerings apparently .I found 42gr of N204/IMR4350 and a 156-160gr accurate and penetrated moose from any reasonable angle through and through.[RE#19......same as N204]

Much too fast for 140 gr bullets. Case would be half empty.
