    Reloader 16 for 6.5 Creedmoor?

    I think the title says it all.
    Any one using it?
    Options?

    Thanks all

    I am using H4350 and RL17

    Call him run-like-hell-when-shtf-guy or dial-911-guy but NEVER call an unarmed man "Security".

        RL17 is close and might actually work better since it was specifically designed to work with the smaller high-efficiency cases. It give me more velocity than other powders in the 300WSM and Creedmoor and s very consistent.

          What bullet are you using?

          I am using Hornady 136 and 140gr ELD-M (mostly 140), Lapua Scenar-L 136 (when I can find them) and am about to try the Bergers.

          My load for H4350 is

          42.6gr
          140ELD-M
          Rem 9 1/2 primer
          Hornady case
          2770fps with single digit SD

          My RL-17 load is
          42.5gr
          140ELD-M
          Rem 9 1/2 LRP
          Hornady case
          2790fps, single digit SD

          I have room to grow the RL-17 as I have no pressure sign at all, but it is a solid accurate load and I really do not need to go much faster

            I use imr4350 which likes higher side load data with 143 eldx.. and h4350 with 143 eld x which like them on lower side.

                I've only ever used H4350..Got in early and stacked it DEEP..140 Amax but since then I've purchased some Berger (130 & 140) and Barnes TTSX 120..I haven't tried loading those yet but believe I'm gonna try Varget or R17..I've got plenty of that too
