H4350 vs IMR 4350 6.5 CREED

[fvalmostthere]

Hey guys just bought a savage 12fv in 6.5 creed on the black friday sale. Starting to research components and H4350 seems to be a favorite for 6.5 creed. I have a stock pile of imr 4350 i use for my browning 270 hunting rifle. I know they are not identical, but would they be close enough to warrant trying before investing in another powder?

I also recently started loading for 6.5 Creedmoor (previously loaded 223 and 308 for many years). My research on the topic indicated the IMR4350 would be a good alternate to H4350 but was more temp sensitive. I think you would be fine to start with the powder you have.

If you decide to try a powder other than the IMR4350 that you have, I had very good results with IMR4451 both with 140 and 120 grain bullets. I also tried Varget (because I have a lot of it) but my personal results were not great.

My barrel is a 24" Bartlein Med Palma contour.

IMR 4350 is more temperature sensitive but it’s not the end all, be all. You’ll be fine with it.

IMR4451 is what you want if you cant find H4350.

Thanks guys, happened to pass a cabelas on my way home and they had a can of h4350 so i grabbed it. Figure i will work up loads with that and the imr 4350 and compare them.
