Anyone try Varget/RE15 in their 6 Creed?

[jaygorski]

Have seen one post on fb where a fellow has used varget with some Hybrids, is there any of you other guys that have tried a bit faster burning powder for 105 or even 115?

jay,
I have only used H4350 in my 6 Creed. That said, I know for a fact that my friends at Hornady have been doing load work on the 6 Creedmoor now that it is in factory ammo production. Give them a call and see if they will "give it up".

Talked to them a couple weeks ago, I was told a junior ballistician found IMR4831 worked quite well with their 108.

Oh well. I had some scribbles but can't find them now. I am sometimes incorrect but don't think Varget can satisfy "the need for speed". Alliant's new RL16 is, per my findings, awesome. Not temp sensitive, provides low SD numbers and Can provide velocities as high as H4350. Yet to try in 6 Creed but I will soon.

I'll try RE16 soon, too.

I have been working with a custom 135gr pill over RL-16 in the 6.5 Creed in the new Lapua cases and it appears that will supplant H4350 in my gun. I get near 80fps better velocity for the same charge weight of H4350 and great stability/precision. I am still waiting on my 6mm Creed reamer from JGS.

RL16, 17, Hybrid 100, Power Pro 4000mr, RL22 and RL19 are all tops of the load data velocity charts at 3050 in Hornady's data. I just searched for 6mm Creedmoor load data and the data popped up. I need to get some RL16 to try. I am going to try Hybrid 100 also. H4350 is imposible to find locally.
