rl 15, 16 or 17, 16 has worked the best for me had good luck with h-4895 with 120gr bullets also and normally easier to find

I have good luck with RL-15 in my 22" Creedmoore. But hey, as Michael Keyton would say: "Yeah, Reloader 15, Reloader 16, whatever it takes" 😀😀
 
I'm shooting 140 Bergers at 2875 with RL16 in a 22" barrel

I hear that RL26 works well with the CM too, but that stuff is like gold dust and I save mine for other guns
 
What kind of velocities are you seeing in your22" creedmoor and what grain bullet?

Hi Flare,

I've never put the Magnetospeed on it. I just shot for group size because I don't plan on using it out past 225 yards. That's as far as I can shoot in my back yard! Anyway, I run a 130 Accubond in it .020" off with 36.8 grains of RL-15. Its a puppy load. Published data says you can run it up to 39 grains but I got .375 MOA out of it at the lower charge and fast kills out to 225, so I figure why beat my stuff up? Anyway, now I'm curious so next range trip I'll see how fast they are going. My guess would be low 2600's.
