6.5 Creedmoor/300 BLK reloading, powder question

[Pmano]

Greetings,


I am beginning to reload ammo for 6.5 Creedmoor and 300 BLK.


I am shooting RPR Gen2 24" for 6.5 cr
&
Sig MCX Gen2 16" for 300 BLK


Currently going to reload 147gr ELD-M for 6.5
Planning on using Hogdon H4350
&
110gr V-MAX for super / 208gr ELD for sub 300BLK
Ordered Accurate 1680 for both


I spoke with Colorado Class 3 who suggested I sign up for this forum to seek other reloaders who might have some Hogdon H4350 stockpiled and might be willing to sell some while I wait for my back order to come in.


I understand that I cannot see or post in the trading post section till I am 30 days a member.


Who all here is in Colorado reloading for 6.5 Creedmoor?
What bullet/powder are you using?


Thanks!

H4350 is a very hot commodity right now and has been unavailable for quite some time. I believe it may start to show up soon, but who knows. IMR 4350 or Induron powders could be used if H4350 cannot be found.

For bullets, buy a 100 of several different types the 147 ELDM may or may not shoot. Try 140 hybrids, 142 matchkings, 140 ELDM, 130 AR Hybrid, 140 RDF Nosler, etc. Your rifle will like one better than another.

I would reach out to Fred at Bison Tactical in Boulder, he may have some H4350, if not he will have some powders and bullets for sale.

Thanks for the info!

I have fired 100+ 147gr ELD-M factory ammo and my gun loves it, 140s work very well too.

I have yet to find a 6.5 of any flavor that did not like the Sierra 142. H4350 and H4831SC are the winners.

For the 300 Whisper 1680, N110, H110 and LilGun are good choices.

Thank you!

Thank you!

IMR 4350 is almost everywhere, I'm very happy with it.

Thank you!

i run H110 for 300wtf/blk. Smidgeon of dirtyness, but I can deal.

Anyone running the Rainier 180gr wedge for 300AAC?

Horrible accuracy and reliability.

Agree. I have been using H4831SC and holding my one jug of H4350 in reserve just in case...have not needed it yet. Used LilGun for 300BO...don't leave it in a plastic powder hopper for more than a day or two, or you can have a sticky mess.
