Powders suitable for 6.5SAUM?

[MagnumManiac]

G’day all,
Have a serious situation here, have just built 3 rifles for F-class and all 3 need H1000 as a minimum in burn rate...only problem is, either H1000 or RETUMBO are UNOBTANIUM, even here in Australia where the stuff is made.

So, question is, what powder(s) are on par for accuracy and burn rate. IMR are also unobtainium here, so Vhit powders are available at times but not all numbers all of the time.
I really need advice for the 6.5 SAUM in particular as it is brand new to me and I am a virgin handloader for it.

Thanks.

Cheers.

I've had good luck with N-565 in my 6.5 saum wildcat. Accuracy node was 3025 fps with 156 Berger.

Reloder 26 if that is available down there. It’s been tough to find here in the states.

RL 25, 7828 ssc, RL 26, N570, imr 8133

Thanks guys.
RE26 is out, most Vhit powder are out and looks like RE25 is the only available powder at the moment.
I could try H4831, but I hate that powder as it has never matched published velocities before getting pressure.

My search continues.

Cheers.

4831 is no good for this

Didn’t think it would be, thanks.

Can you get IMR 7977?

 

[Preacher]

It's a shame you can not get H1000, the 6.5 SAUM loves that stuff...

A month ago there was lbs of H1000 at most shops here...then the hoarding started! RETUMBO and most other powders all walked out the door.
IMR powders are not available here.
Most Vhit powders aren’t in stock either.
Oh well, the season has been cancelled here anyway, I just wanted to get at least one load happening for the new rifle and cartridge.

Cheers.
