H-4350 vs RL-16

[wapiti16b]

What have been your results and variance in powder weight in regards to velocity and pressure with these powders ?
Primarily within these cartridges with heavy bullets for caliber?
6mm CM
6x47 Lapua
6.5 CM
6.5 x 47 Lapua
7-08 REM
7-08 AI
7SAW
7 SLR

Thanks!

They are close as to powder weights.
The RL16 will give a little more speed and less pressure than the H4350.
Most of the time.

RL-16 has all but replaced 4350 for me in both 6.5 and 6 creed. Like many others a little more speed at similar (or same) charge weight and if you’re running up on the top of the capacity it gives you a little more room for pressure. In particular at peak summer my 4350 loads start getting slightly sticky but RL-16 does not, at same or better velocity.

Accuracy and SD/ES have always been indistinguishable for me.

Isn't one single and the other doubled based?

Same here with RL16. H4350 max's out sooner, 16 keeps going.

in a 6.5 cm 120 barnes TTSX how many grains of reloader 16

anybody try Winchester Staball yet I heard its the new miracle powder lol

Same results I got in my 260.
147’s
H4350 hit pressure at just under 2800
R16 hit pressure at just under 2900

42-44 and you're in business if you're shooting 6.5 Creedmoor. Anything else, I have no clue.

TONS of info in that thread. Enjoy.
