Winchester 760 for 6.5 creedmoor?

[Texar2]

Does anyone have experience with Winchester 760 in the 6.5 Creedmoor. I am almost out of H4350 and can not find anymore, but I have a lot of win 760. Any info would be appreciated.

W760 (same as H414) burns very close to 4350, but may be just a touch faster than the H version of 4350.

If you back down a 1 1/2 grains from what charge weight you have been using with H4350, and work back up carefully, I think you'll find a good load.

W760 may be a tad temperature sensitive, but you can mitigate that effect by choosing an OCW charge. It will of course meter beautifully, and once your measure is set you'll be able to simply throw the charges (check every 10th charge on the scale to be sure all is well)...

I think it'll be a fantastic choice for the cartridge, and you may end up staying with it.

I used W-760 for my first Creedmoor barrel with the 139 Scenar. You'll get good velocity and accuracy. Matched the course record at the SRM with that combo in July. Didn't notice any sensitivity to temperature as many say. Run an Audette. My load was right around 42.8 grains with velocity close to 2900

Ive used W760 in a 6mm rem. Pretty bad temperature sensetivity.

Was thinking of using the powder on a creedmoor as well. I assume it meters much better than 4350?
