Hi guys, first post here.
Wondering what you all are using in 22 creed behind the 69 - 75 gr pills, only thing is, we can no longer get rl26 or any hogdon powder in the uk. Thinking of n550 or an imr enduron

Cheers
 
Can you get your hands on any RL16? RL17 would work well too, but it tends to be much more temp sensitive. Viht 550 and maybe 560 but I'm not sure you could get enough 560 in the case unless you are seating them way out.

Viht has a couple new powders out that may work also, N555 and N565. N555 is supposed to be very close to RL16
 
Yes I can get RL16, we recently had a ban on certain powders for health reasons(there are worse and more likely things to die from) temperature shouldn’t be too much of an issue, an average year is -5 to +18 C, are the 55 range double based? Will try to get hold of some. Have 200 69gr tmks to try, if not will use the 75 vld.
 
I ve got 22-250 AI and with heavies you can run some pretty slow powders like 4350, 4831, 7828 R22, etc. 22 CM should be very similar
 
will try the reloaders, have found 5lbs of 26! will have to step up to 77gr tmk maybe, cant get any double base rl powders. should be good out of a 25in barrel.
