Im shooting H4350 in mine. 87gr Berger VLD hunting, starting load was 41.0 and shot best at 44.0
with no pressure issues. Berger bullets like some jamb , not sure about the Sierra's?

why not try some heavyer bullets like 105s or 108s.they mite be alittle better at distant targets.i just picked up my 6 creed a couple of days ago.im using the 108eld's.i don't have a load worked up yet,i just shot 2 latter tests and some factory rounds.its fun to shoot.

Indeed, I'd also use 105s and go with 41.5-41.6grs H4350 or 100V.
