6.5 CM Ball power alternative ?

[264shooter]

Hello Creedmoor shooters,
I have been useing Varget and H4350 in my 28" Krieger barreled CM and have had excellent results.
I just got my Surgeon rebarreled and I would like to try ball powder, partly as an experiment in barrel life. Also for accuracy, velocity and how it behaves in extreme temperatures.
Looks like Ramshot Big Game might be a good choice.
What ball powders have you been using?
Thanks

Alliant has the xxxxMR series out there now which might work. I have no experience with it, just a thought.

H100v is sorta like ball powder, it's a pretty good metering powder that burns about the same as H4350 in the 7 SAUM and 7 WSM that I've shot it from.

I know that AA 2520 and BL-C(2) works well in 6.5 Grendel. Don't know about a larger cartridge.

Might try Big Game or Hunter. I use both in 260 and 6.5x47L.
Ramshot has loads listed for both, just scroll down .
