At least in my experience today. Took out a relatively new (60 rounds of factory ammo thru it) Savage Axis II in 6.5 Creedmore today and ran a couple of different powders with Hornady SST 140’s in Starline brass. Heard H4350 was the cats meow in the Creedmore so I started there with loads up to max. Also decided to try IMR 4350 because I have plenty and use it in my .243 and -06 so why not give it a go.
Needless to say, I had best results with 42 gr of IMR 4350 than any other load, H4350 included. Had a 3 shot cloverleaf at 100 yds with a 12 mph SW wind this morning Using the 42 gr IMR load. our rifle range faces due East.
Think I’m gonna stick with that for now since deer season is rapidly approaching and I’d like to try the 6.5 Creedmore round this year.
