I am not getting the results expected. I hear h4350 is the #### for dolly in the 6.5cm. I am getting much better results with superformance and 6.5 staball. I have a set of lee dies. To be clear, h4350 shoots well, moa or a little better. But superformance has me at .58 inch 5 rounds and a SD of 8 ES of 11 over 10 round spread.
Any suggestions? Thanks for all the help on here

You didn't mention which bullet,primer, brass you are using. I assume your group is at 100yds.
In my rifle, I have found Reloder 16 to be the most accurate with 139 Scenars, Lapua brass, GM205M primers
but..your rifle will tell you what it likes the best, and it looks like you found a load that your rifle likes.
So, if it works..don't try to second guess it.

I have tried alot. Brass fed, win, srarline, hornady. Primer, lots to. Cci and fed gmm and magnum too. Small rifle, large rifle.
Projectiles, sireara game, match king, hornady 147 eld., berger vld 140, 130 (by far the best) so lot's of testing. I have not tried the ali R powders yet. Its a hunting/all season rifle. So temp stable is good for me (have not gotten to the R powders, I will) i am asking about H4350

I use H4350 in my bergara and I can make a ragged hole at 100 yards if I do my part
using hornady brass and hornady eld match 140 grain bullets
39grain of H4350
I was using IMR 4350 but getting better results with the h4350

What speed are you getting at 39gr? That seems pretty low. I'm at 41.9 using 140gr eld m's getting around 2800fps
 
There are other powders that will give you more velocity than H4350, Velocity is not the reason to use H4350. H4350 is unique in its ability to be extremely stable over large temperatures.
 
I've only shot my 6.5 Creedmoor with H4350 and it's been a great powder from 147 ELD M which I started with to the 130 ELD-M I'm now shooting. But if a different powder is working for you why not! Take yes for a answer. I like H4350 since it seems to be so versatile for 6.5 Creedmoor. But when I run out I will likely switch powders over to D4350 SSC since it looks pretty promising and H4350 is hard to get and it seems the price per pound has creeped up a lot. Staball is also in the running since it seems the prices are pretty reasonable still. Only time will tell.

Not sure on speed I don’t have a way to check for it
I’m not shooting extreme distance or anything and the lower charge is really accurate in my rifle so I stuck with it
Barrel won’t burn out as fast either
I think too many people concentrate too much on max velocities, you can be accurate at lower speeds
 
I use H4350 with 140's. No problems whatsoever, great at distance. 41.1 @ 2710. 24" barrel. Gives a nice node to work with.
OP, did you do an OCW test with H4350 or with 6.5 Staball?

Oh totally. its a great way to save some barrel life. i shoot out to 1km so need the velocity.
