Universal mellow load passed along to me.
129 LRAB and 41.2 gr H4350 I used 1X Hornady brass and CCI 200s, and found joy with the Montana...
Working on a fast RL17 load too.

RL-26 (48 gr) works well with that bullet, just saying.

The two I load for love the 129 ABLR with 42.5g RL17. They also like a similar load of H4350, but a fair amount slower. I wanted to move to RL16 for the temp stability, but neither rifle liked it.

42 gr H4350 143 eldx Hornady brass fed 210gmm. 2.820 coal. 1/2 moa or better for 5 shots from a 26” savage varmint rifle. 2780 fps. Been playing with R26 but dang the H 4350 is just lights out in the creedmoor. Ran a pressure ladder with the R26 and got to 3000 fps with the 140 eldm but thats likely over pressure even though the primers looked ok. I think 2900 is doable. Have some loads waiting to shoot over the chrono.

I went with 42 and 42.5 of H4350 with a 140 Accubond. I couldn’t tell a difference in group size because they were all touching. Shot 2 groups of 3 each and then 1 group of 5 each. OAL was 2.775 that was in the Nosler reloading manual. Guess it works.
Nosler factory 120 and 140 NBT were just a freckle bigger group wise. Still at .5” or under.
These loads worked in 2 different rifles and shot the same in both. Same for the factory ammo.
I left the target at the range on the bench next to me so the guy cussing his 270 could cuss some more after I left.

You guys not finding excessive pressure with 42.0 / 42.5 grs of H4350 and 140 gr bullets? Compressed load?
I just bought a box of 139 gr Scenars and have H4350.
Been using factory rounds up to this point and been gathering info before I handload.

Thanks Jordan. I will be using 1x fired Hornady brass that I prepped. I will work up to 42.0 and see what velocity that gives me. Mule Deer mentioned that the Scenars should not be an issue since they have a small bearing surface.

With my Tikka T3x 24” barreled Creed, 43 grs. of H4350 under 130 AccuBonds and Sierra Gamechangers yielded the following at 18*F:
AccuBonds with a 2.800” OAL (.060” jump) 2790 ft/sec.
Gamechangers with a 2.825 OAL (.100” jump) 2810 ft/sec.

Nice work John. My Creed loves RL16 as well. Nice shootin'.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
