Just wondering what you 6x45 guys think or has worked the best for you in the powder department.
What's your
Best all around for light bullets. 55-70 Gr bullets
Best all around for heavier bullets 70 gr +
Best powder for colder conditions.

Right now I am using
27.0 of H335
58 V-Max
LC virgin
Rem 7 1/2
2.260 OAL
Shoots great,just looking for some other combos to try.
 
8208 is a dream powder for the 6.5 Grendel.I think that's what I will try next. Might also try some Exterminator.
What kind of velocities are you seeing with the 8208?
 
Hard to beat XTerminator for 70gr and lighter bullets for velocity and from 75gr and up CFE223 gets the nod again for speed. Accuracy wise hard to tell as all powders have shot pretty well for me. I need to give 8208 a try as I cannot remember using it but I may have just need to look back and see.
