Hi all,
I am new to the creedmoor. I have been developing a load with the 136L scenar and H4350. With 42gr I am getting an average velocity of 2777fps from a 24" barrel. It seems a bit slow for the powder charge. Am I over thinking this or do I have a slow barrel or batch of powder.
 
The 136gr will be very similar in speed to 140’s, which have a benchmark speed of roughly 2650-2700 fps. I think you’re doing fine, but you can check the 6.5CM reloading sticky thread, search within the thread if you can figure out how for “Scenar h4350”
