Hey y'all recently got a 22 creedmoor built. 18inch barrel 1-8 (supposed to 1-7 twist). Anyways already ordered some 90 a tips and I have a lot of varget powder laying around wonder if anyone has some load data with varget and heavier bullets? I'm thinking maybe it's too fast burning should go restock on some h4350. Yes scope is not even attached.

I am sure you have found what you are after, but I thought I would share my results.
1-7" proof barrel. 22"
90vld
h4350 would pressure before I could break 3000fps.
Retumbo was better. but still pressured before 3100.
H4831sc was suitable.
I know it isn't available, and it is totally my luck, but RL26 gave me the best results. 42 gas. fed 205M 3190 fps. ES of 15 on virgin brass. No pressure till 44 grains. Cheers!

H4350 works for me as it’s what Ive got but does make premature pressure compared to a more appropriate magnum powder. 4831 is a step better, rl26 really was the magic dust but it’s gone now so too bad there.
