6.5 creedmoor starting point

Recommended Posts

I am shooting a Ruger American predator, 143- ELD-X and using 43gr of IMR 4451 and it shots lights out. I think it’s shooting @ 2733 fps. 22" barrel.

Not to derail this, but this is the first I've seen about IMR 4451. I've been using IMR 4350 in just about everything I reload for - it just seems to work out best for them. Is IMR 4451 a replacement for IMR 4350 as well as H 4350?

Yeah R16 works really well too. I have done two creeds now that both liked 42.5gr with velocities in the 2850 range. Half MOA or better with single digit ES.

IMR 4451 splits IMR 4350 and H4350 in burn rate. So yes, it is almost a direct replacement for IMR 4350.
