I've played with H4350, R17, and IMR 4451 the most for 140s and have had good success spanning three 6.5 CM rifles.

Doing 140's in the brother in laws rifle and tried IMR-4350 and RL-17.
The 17 shot so much better groups so that is where we are now.
I started below 40 grains and now we are at 40.7 grains+-.

Re 26 is fantastic with the heavier bullets. Not many hang with it for velocity. I just quickly put together a load to try in my cm the other day and it pushed 140 Interlocks to 2889 from a 24-inch barrel. It shot four shots into an inch at 200 yards and three of the shots were within 1/2 inch. With the 140-147 weight of bullets, start about 46 grains and go where it takes you.

+1 on RL26 using 140gr or heavier bullets.
Enough already, just shoot it!

H4350 - ~41gr - 2.670 - 2600-50 FPS.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

RL17 for the 130 gr AB's H4350 works also but lags in velocity

I get in the mid to high 2,800's with the 130NAB in 22" factory 260's, burning H4350. What kinds of speeds have you seen in the Creed with those two powders? I'm curious because I'm about to get set up to reload for that cartridge too.

Ah, good to know, thanks. I shoot RL17 with the 129gr ABLR in a 22" 6.5x47L and get 2,900fps also. It's apparently a good fit for speed in the small-cased 6.5 stuff with 130's.
To amend my previous statement on H4350 and the 260, one of my factory 700's with a 22" barrel got high 2,800's with the H4350/130NAB combo, but the other got closer to your 2,825 speed.

A max load of Re17, under a 129 Interlock, gets me 3010 fps from my 24-inch Criterion .260, with 1/2 moa accuracy.
