Which of the vihtavuori powders would be the best to pickup to replace h4350 In a 24" 6.5 creed. Im running low on h4350 and figured id give another powder a try. Mainly shooting 140 and 147 gr pills and need enough velocity out of it to make PF in nrl hunter. I figure some of you fellas could point me in the right direction pretty quickly.
 
I run N555 in my creedmoor with 135’s, 147’s, and 156’s and have had great luck. I was easily able to get the 135 A-tips above velocity that would make PF with it.
 
I have used staball 6.5 in this rifle and it didnt do great. However my other rifle loved it.

I thought I read in a few places that n555 may not get the velocity needed in 6.5 creed.
I need 2715 to shoot the 140s and make PF
 
560 is more along the lines of 4831sc so that's your next option. I think 555 is the one you're wanting.

It’s worked good for me out of my waypoint with a 22” barrel. My current load is 147’s with N555 at about 2720.
 
I will definitely try it out..I got two pounds of it on the way. Also read some good stuff about n160 and 147s so I got a jug of it coming to.

I tried N160…I couldn’t get it to shoot as good as N555. Hopefully you have better luck than I did.
 
My accuracy load for the 6.5 Creed uses N560 and a Hornady 143 grain ELDX. 2655 out of a 20" barrel isn't half bad either.
N555 is another great one, but I have an 8# jug of 560 and 555 is hard to get your hands on, so that is why I went that route.
 
N555 had better velocity and tighter groups than H4350 in my 25creed. N160 was a little slow and groups opened. Had a 25-06 that loved N160
I read alot of good things on the n555 and 25 creed. I've got two 6.5 aero barrels to go through before I try a 25 creed barrel though
 
Got a notice today from PV that vihtavouri will be increasing its price. Some googling shows that the increase will be 10% starting on August first due to the tariffs.

If you’re gonna try some VV you might want to jump on it sooner rather than later
