Looking to get set up for loading 6.5 for a mate and myself, the usual 2208 and 2209 choices seem to have dried up for the time being, can anyone recommend other powders for the heavier 6.5 pills? I can still get my hands on 2206h, hybrid 100v, Winchester 760, 2213sc, and Reloader 17 and 19, all of which seem to get some love with the creedmoor.
Cheers
Hiya I just loaded up r16 good speed and tight groups in my sako creedmoor

Reloder 17 will work well. Very similar to Reloder 16 (which is the mutt's nuts) but more temperature sensitive.
Hybrid 100V also gets very good velocity numbers on the Hodgdon website. 2213 too but you're into quite compressed loads.
I've been finding some 4350 around, very similar to 2209.
ADI powder shipment supposedly departing Melbourne in December. Mind you, it was originally due in October.
W760 works well with 140 & 143.
You are right, it is the same thing. I sent ADI an email to ask about it a while ago and they replied with the following:Quote:

As you can see AR2209 and H4350 are identical.
Extreme caution should be taken and loads should be worked up accordingly. Refer to

VV 550 or 150, Norma 204
I use Hybrid 100v with 140 grain projectiles.
I get 2930fps which is a hot load but safe in my rifle (Ruger Precision with a 24” barrel).
Accuracy is good as I shoot this out to 1000 yards when shooting F class.
Suggest you work a load up and see what you get.
Only downside is it is heat sensitive and gains about another 50fps on a hot day.
