    H4350
    IMR 4451
    Varget

    All good choices. Varget is better for the lighter bullets. H4350 was difficult to find and I was able to get some sub 1/2 MOA at 200 yards with the 4451.

    Thanks for the fast reply I have plenty of Varget laying around, Im reading H4350 in temp sensitive I live in the Northeast (cold) and I love to try out my new Ruger Precision creedmoor and of course like to make some reloads for it after I will shoot manufacture rounds first to do some brake in. Did you like the IMR4451???

    H4350 is one of the most temp INSENSITIVE powders and is well suited for the creed. The 4451 is also temp insensitive and is a close runner up. If you can get your hands on some H4350 or IMR4451, you’ll be set for the 140-150gr wt class.

    I load H4350 for heavies (140-147gr) and IMR4064 for lighter weights (123gr).
