6.5 Creedmoor Powder Recommendations?

[Woodrow F Call]

Well, since H4350 is unobtainable unless paying double on gunbroker, what good options are out there? Temp stable?

 

[sram9102]

Keep an eye on Midway. I have seen 4350 a few times in the past week or so. Paying hazmat isn't preferred but that's the times we're in.

Temp stable: RL16 or RL23...

 

[Wetwork]

Been very happy with Varget, and RL17 and the cream of the crop RL26. Depends a lot on what grain bullet you are pushing. Barnes 127's and Hammer 124's love Varget. Anything 130 and up like the RL26 and RL17 in my Creeds.-WW

H4350 pops up weekly on powder valley and midsouth. Get on the discord app, it’s one of the most common powders I see

H4350, imr 4451, re 16

H4350 has been around. Usually 2-4lb limits but have seen it on midway, brownells, PV and mid south. Even scooped up an 8lber from brownells a few months ago.

I've been using Accurate 2700 with good results. I'm loading copper and Barnes 120 gr TTSX. I think Southwest has some in stock.

I wish I had seen this earlier. They sold out.

Yep. My fall backs if my H4350 ran out and wasn’t available.

superformance and rl26 for me.

Is H4350 temp stable? Curious which powder is optimal for consistency from near zero to 90F+…

How do you guys feel about IMR4350?

I picked up a jug at sportsman's and had a friend load me about 90 rounds. I haven't had a chance to shoot it myself but his test groups looked promising.

H4350 is arguably the most temp stable power ever. It's very stable.

Shoots good, but it's not supposed to be as temp stable. Been using it, but I'm changing bullets and figured to change powder while I'm at it..... probably matters more now as I moved from the deep south to Colorado.

Another vote for IMR4451, I used it because I couldn’t find H4350 and haven’t went back. That being said if you’re somewhere with an Academy sporting goods they get H4350 relatively often. 50 a pound but its there.

I had a fella that sold me some shootersworld 4350. He said it was more of an old school 4350 powder recipe but would work good. I’m anxious to try it out. He had several pounds of it.
