Re#15.5 in 6mm Creedmoor and 22/250

Re#15.5 in 6mm Creedmoor and 22/250 . How will this perform ?
I was finally able to acquire some. Alliant only lists 6CM loads for the light bullets. But, they list 6.5CM for the full range of bullet weights. So I ran a 1 gr increment test using 120 gr bullets in my 6.5CM. Their data didn't list a load for the bullet I was using, and the data seemed unusual for the range for the 2 130 gr bullets they did list.

To be safe, I stuck with the lower range. Shot them last Friday. Surprised that with 1 gr steps, the bullet location remained fairly consistent. When I ran it though QL the Ba was very close to RL 15. So now I have some loaded to shoot that should be near a node. After I finish this test with my 6.5CM, I'll start using in my 6CM.

Since QL is so slow to update and add new powders, I decided to go ahead and get GRT and start using. They have data listed for TS 15.5. Still at the low point on the learning curve, but impressed so far with what I see. Hope the support for this tool continues.
 
I believe that it will probably be a good match in burn rate for the 22-250 with classic bullet weights, but it's a bit on the fast burning side to be considered ideal in the 6mm Creedmoor with any of the heavier bullets.
