What powder is in Hornady SST factory load?

They did that for 6.5 Creedmoor, but I haven’t seen any Hornady 6.5 Grendel ammunition where load data was printed on the box. They may have done it with the quickly-discontinued 120gr A-MAX, but I never saw it and that is only speculative.

I have been buying Hornady 6.5 Grendel ammo regularly since no later than March of 2013. I found my earliest notes on 123gr A-MAX factory muzzle velocity readings I took from that Month/Year.

I started out hand-loading for it with Lapua brass and 123gr Scenars in 2009, bought some of the old Wolf Gold 123gr SP (garbage), and later started buying 123gr A-MAX, which was a great factory load.

I was mostly shooting .260 Rem for all my long range work at the time.
