Buzz, I personally use R16 in my daughters 6mm CM. I have also tested H4350 and 6.5 Staball. Anything in that burn rate will do well.

My preferred is 1:8.5 Brux but I found a decent deal on an 8 twist Shilen and I'm going to try it.
105 hybrids, I have a bunch and they are an awesome shooting and hunting bullet that's easy to tune.
And Chad (as always) nailed the powder. I'm using SRP Lapua brass.

I run RL23 with DTAC's in mine and its phenomenally consistent and easy on barrels.

H-4350, MIGHT try some Shooter's World 4350 soon. Tried some of their Blackhorn replacement and it was good, so I figured I'll try a little of their rifle powder

Are the RL Powders a thing of the past now? Being that they are a product of Switzerland and Finland I doubt we see much from them until the Ukraine thing settles down.
