R23 in the 6.5 Creedmoor?

[Hondo64d]

Burn rate is supposedly similar to R22 and H4831. Supposedly very temperature stable. From what I’ve read, it works well in the .260, but I see almost no mention of it in the Creedmoor.

Has anyone tried it? What were your results? Thinking of a possible alternative to the nearly unobtainable R26...

4831SC works well also.

Have a little bit of that and intend on trying it.

23 is top notch stuff, 6creed&6x47 with amazing accuracy, better velocity than H4831. imr4955 could be a top contender as well, also producing more velocity than H4831 and maybe cleaner than 23, time will tell

I've run R23 in the 6 Creed where max charge is similar to 4831SC but nearly 100 FPS faster in my rifle. It does take up more room in the case and I was able to get a full case and a compressed load with no pressure signs. I would guess you'll have similar results in the 6.5.
