Just added my information in the sticky section. Hopefully someone can add more.

Found another node at 40.0gr. Havent been able to mess around with seating depth yet though. Will report back hopefully tomorrow or next weekend.

You may need to add it to this thread, so that it can be linked, if there isn’t one already.

Thank you Sir.

I'll throw in my findings. These are loads I found nodes for with my rifle. Higher charges opened up then came back in slowly,  but primers started showing more cratering or a piercing here or there. With the mid range charge weight grouping as well as it did on the ladder,  I stayed there and messed with it.

Rifle is a Aero M5, 22" Wilson Combat SS profile fluted, 1/8 twist,  Steiner 3-12x50 Military Tactical G2B reticle.

Hornady brass (trimmed to 1.910)
108g Hornady ELD Match
WLR primer (used CCI 200, 34 & BR-2 with no real changes noted)
39.6g H4350
Projectiles seated to 2.800 COAL

Velocity ~2940-3000 fps, average group ~.8 MOA @ 100m

Hornady brass (trimmed to 1.910)107g Sierra HPBT Matchkings
WLR primer
39.5g H4350
Projectiles seated to 2.800 COAL
Velocity ~2900 fps, average group ~.7 MOA @ 100m

I haven't messed with seating depth yet,  but may yield nothing due to mag length restriction. Atmospheric conditions when the Hornady ELD's were run was ~25-28 hotter/~23% more humid/00.14 inHg less pressure. Brass itself was in good shape. No swipes or smears until near/at max charges. Primer pockets are loose after only a couple loadings. I'll be switching brass and primer sizes soon to see what works better/best for my rifles.

Groups could be better if the shooter (me) was capable of more.

I’ve been using this load lately.

Hornady Brass
BR2 primers
110 SMK jumping .020”
40.0 gr of RE17
2960 FPS

Hodgdon H4350 powder is obviously the favorite powder for heavy (100+ grain) bullets and 6mm Creedmoor.

Are there any alternative powders to H4350 that perform as well (or nearly as well?).

Reason: phoned around and everyone is out of H4350 round here; don't want to mail order.

For what bullet (or range of bullets)?

These are for the heavier.

I like reloader 17.

THANKS!  I appreciate the info.

To answer your question:  I just ordered a bunch of 108 grain Hornady Match ELD polymer tip BT.

As far as the powder I have on hand, I am thinking of using H380.  I think H380 is suppose to work well in 243.

I also have H1000 - but not sure if it will work in Creedmoor (seems too slow).

Would CFE work, possibly? (I have a pound on hand to try).

I have a RPR in 6mm Creedmoor.

Will report back how it goes. Thanks again,

41.5 H4350
CCI 200

.010" jump
Hornady LR brass
3006 fps in a 24" Brux 7.5t + suppressor
SD 10, ES 3.2 over a 10 shot string

This load has shot a .046" 3 round group.

Anyone using StaBall 6.5 powder in their 6mm Creeds yet?  I'm planning on trying it out as soon as local place gets some in stock.

In response to  Hagdaddy’s post about StaBall powder above:

-  here is a thread on this promising new Ball powder that is temperature-stable:

Here's my $0.02 worth

Hornady brass'
WW LRPrimer
115 DTAC
44.1gr H4831SC 1:7.7 twist
Bartlein 24" barrel
Sako L469 action
Timney trigger

Extreme spread of 10fps over 10 rounds
1/2-3/4" groups @200 yds

2 questions:

- anyone using Alpha brass for 6mm? (so far I only see Hornady brass in use here). And

- anyone following the 6mm Creedmoor load development on the Youtube channel Bolt Action Reloading?
