6.5 Creedmoor & 123 Scenar's

Just got a pile of 123gr scenars and want to do a bit of load work this weekend weather allowing. Leaning towards H4350 starting at 43.0grs and working up to 44.2 in .003 increments with a .005" jump to start out with. Have had pretty good luck with the 123 Nosler CC's in that area, but just can't get it to were I think it should be....that's hopefully something the scenars can clear up a tad.
Would appreciate any info you folks could share on the 123's (Got most powders imaginable, so if ya have something that worked better then the H4350, please share!)
26" Krieger 8.5 twist is the tube I'm using.
 
For me the 123 Scenar has been an extremely accurate bullet. I have used RL 16, H4350, and IMR 4451 all have worked well. In my 26" Hawk Hill barrel they seemed to like a good amount of jump...
 
In my 6.5cm, I ran the 123 Amax with 43.8gns of h4350, f210m, Hornady brass. If I recall it was around 3040 from a 26" Krieger 8.5tw. They were hummin'. Not scenars, but in the neighborhood. Managed to shoot a 0.64" group at 300yds with that load. I will try to find that target and snap a pic of it for posterity.
 
I've had moderate success at best with any Hornady bullet,...they're priced nicely and readily available though. Seems like I'm pretty close to hitting a sweet spot at 43.3grs of H4350 with the Scenar's after a little shooting this weekend. Gonna play around with it a little more in the next few weeks at a little longer ranges and see what happens.
