6mm Creed Load Data

I'm running the 109's with 38 grains of h4350 @ 2.812" averaging 2810 fps. I ran up to 42 grains with no pressure signs but my groups opened up quite a bit. It's a little slower than I was wanting, but it's a new benchmark so I'll get a hundred rounds down the tube and tinker some more.
Holy cow, that's what I call a group.
 
41.3-41.5 has worked in 3 different barrels for me. If there is a better powder for 6CM than H4350 I have not discovered it.
Have you or anyone else tried RL-16 in the 6 Creed, back when I was working a load for the 6.5 Creed, no 4350 was around, but RL-16 was everywhere. I used it in the 6.5 and it worked good, I have plenty of 4350 now is why I did not test it with RL-16.
 
Ill mention, if you happen to have rl-23 on hand or can find some, that stuff is dynamite in 6cm. Very easy to work with and also impressive velocities. Pushing 105s to 3200 is no issue.
 
I worked up a load for my Ruger predator. 41.5 of imr4350 because I had it. Running cci200 and a 100gr sierra sbt. 3/4 average groups so I just loaded the pound. I'll switch to h4350 on the next round and expect similar results. I'm just hunting deer and yotes with it.

Have you ever tried N555? Seems like can get more powder in the case increased velocity and it hits pressure later than H4350
 
Just picked up a new to me 6mm CM with a 20" 1:8. Rifle has a very proven load with 103gr Hornady ELD-X and H4350, and 200 of these bullets were included with the rifle. While not married to this load, can't argue with what was accomplished using this combination. So, following this thread for the info it contains, thanks!
