Quick load short barrel 6CM

[Bobrobheimer]

Curious if someone with quick loads would be willing to run a load for a 6 creed with a short 16” barrel shooting 108 ELDMs and see what powders it comes back with as the top 3. Used H4350 for an 90gr hammer with fine results and started trying that and N150 for the 105s but curious what it suggests in the context of the shorter barrel and heavier for caliber bullet.

108 ELDm?

108 ELDm?

Yes - my mistake. Had the 105 hybrid in my head I guess.

Quickload users: Is quickload worth getting? I hear Jake talk pretty highly of it.

I don’t have quick load. But N555 works well in 6 creed

What would classify a powder for top 3 ranking? Velocity?

No need to get fancy. H4350, RL16, N555. A guy could probably squeeze some FPS with RL17, RL26, superformance, hybrid100, Staball6.5?, etc but the others will do fine.

Don’t know how quickloads would choose/recommend that - Just heard on the shoot to hunt podcast about how quick loads usually comes back with good powders to try. I was curious in this case since the short barrel leaves the door open to not fully burn before the bullet leaves the muzzle and maybe get some extreme extreme spreads and of course leave some speed on the table. So far H4350 has worked alright for me and I have tried a ladder with N150. That’s all I have experimented with so far.
