I just bough a 6.5 Creedmoor and apparently the powder to have is H4350. I assume 6mm Creedmoor would be similar. Someone was posting amazing velocities and groups with a 6.5 and RL26 but everywhere around me is sold out. Would RL26 work in 6mm Creedmoor as well? Sounds like an awesome...
Great report! I used to use a 100 gr BTSP out of a 243 and thought it was too tough of a bullet for deer. I shot several deer with it that were perfect lung shots; I could always tell I hit them because they buckled, but most ran 50-150 yards. I don't think the bullet opened up fast enough...
Thank you for posting this! From everyone you talk to, everyone has a 1/164th MOA gun that they drop varmits with at 7,234 yards, always on the first shot! We are still human, no matter how good. It takes a humble and modest man to post this, and I appreciate it.
I know, my Model 70 shoots bugholes with 130 Ballistic Tips at 0.090" off and these now at .126" off. Kind of surprising, I always thought the bullets had to be at the lands for accuracy but shows how little I know!

This is a group from Hornady Precision Hunter 143 EXDX ammo out of a Tikka T3X Stainless. I pulled a couple bullets and the powder charges range from 41.2 to 41.6 grains of H4350 seated to 2.805. Velocity averaged 2,630 fps. 2.805” is 0.126” off the lands in my Tikka. A friend has been loading...
Really cool. I was thinking of loading the 110 Accubond in my 270 for my kids first load, they are thick and stout at the base. Makes me have confidence!! Thanks!
