Shooting and Testing 6.5 Creedmoor. H4350 vs IMR4350. With Hornady 140 ELD Match Bullets

In this video, I am  Shooting and Testing 6.5 Creedmoor. H4350 vs IMR4350. With Hornady 140 ELD Match Bullets. The results were surprising, but very pleasing as well.

Looks like the IMR based on your results was performing better!

Thanks Peter. Yes I agree. The IMR 4350 seemed to perform better. I plan to do more testing. Thanks for watching.

I have tried them both. I agree but I think the H4350 is better at dealing with heat/outdoors

Suggest you watch the videos on the Hornady channel, especially "Your Groups Are Too Small." Most load development protocols are invalid due to insufficient data and the complexity of the rifle/shooter/reloading system. There is too much inherent variability to draw such conclusions. You don't even have real velocity data. For a test to be valid it must be repeatable. I can't shoot the same group twice with the same rifle on the same day and the same ammo. You are on a journey.

I do watch the videos on the Hornady channel. They are excellent. The one entitled your groups are too small is the very reason I started shooting larger groups and measuring with the Hornady 4DOF app. I used to shoot two 5-shot groups when running a test and I would average those. I think I get better results when I shoot larger group sizes and measure with the Hornady app. If you look at some of my other videos you will see that I do sometimes shoot 20 shot groups. I don't yet own a chronograph, but I may at some point. In the meantime the group size tells me whether or not I have a good load. Thanks for watching.
