Hi, Trying to ascertain how D4350SSC shoots in comparison to IMR4350. Has anyone got any 6.5 Creedmoor loads they have already tried. I am using a Sierra 42gn hpbt. Thx rigrat
 
You'll be using more powder than IMR 4350 to get the same velocity. It can work very well in the Creedmoor, I use it in my 260 Rem
 
I’m using it in 6.5x55

It’s slower than IMR, closer to RL19
I’m often getting single digit spreads
Very impressed, wish I’d bought more.

I have used H4350 for years (not IMR4350), I have found D4350scc to be bulkier, and am using about a grain and a half more than I was with the Hf350; lightly compressed loads under a Hornady 95 gr V-MAX at 47 gr. in my 6.5 x 55. POI is about the same, but the groups have tightened up. I'm sold.
 
I ran into case capacity issues with it in my 7mm08, even with a compressed load it was not giving me the sort of velocity I wanted.

What other cartridges are people loading with this powder? I made a few loads for my 243win with it, but I haven't had a chance to chronograph them. I'm guessing it's well below factory velocity judging by the recoil though.

Thanks! I am using 100gr hornady BTSP in my 243, and I still have case capacity to go with that one so I'll keep trying it there. I have been thinking about getting a 30-cal magnum of some sort, so its nice to know it aught to work with that too considering I bought 5lb of it. lol
