Does anyone load the 143 grn ELDX in 6.5 Creedmoore, I can not get any H4350 so im stuck with what i have, I was trying some 129 grn and this rifle just hates them, so i am going to try some 143 grn ELDX. Been looking around and some people seem to have some decent luck with IMR 4350 which i have a ton of, also have seen some people mention RL-19 but cant seem to find any load data for it, i use RL-19 in my 270 WSM and it loves it.
Powders i have on hand is IMR 4350,4451,4064, RL-19, Ramshot Big Game, H414,H380 Hybrid 100v , 760 Varget
Done some testing with IMR4350, 4064 and 4451 using 129 grn interlocks and best group was around .90 but with some factory 140 grn Hornady black i got a .58 so I am thinking it wants a longer heavier bullet. This 6.5 is a whole new monster for me, and this will be a hunting rifle for my son.
