The 250 gr. R-P factory load clocks 2435 fps out of my rifle as a reference point. I can get 200 gr bullets moving out almost 2700 fps with 59.0 gr. H4895 and match the velocity of the 250 gr. factory ammo with 60gr. of RL-17.

I'll add Alliant MP-300 and Hodgdon Lil'Gun to the list.

Tubal 3000 is in the GRT database, but the 6mm ARC isn't. In the 6PPC using your barrel length and dimensions 27.9 gr. develops 3173 fps at 55kpsi with a loading density of 106%.

Just want to cross reference my chrono data and GRT with QL simulations. John

They started out as All-Sports in Portland, and I did some shopping there from time to time in late 70's.

I'm shooting 41.5 gr. of RL-15 at a LOA of 2.840 in my Remington 700 Ti clone with a 20" barrel. Accuracy is sub-MOA and the velocity is 2627 fps.

I use the same process that Ridge_Runner uses for forming 9.3x62 cases from 30-06 brass using a different (faster burning) flake powder that I have an abundance of and old oddball primers that I have no other use for. I've found that annealing the neck and shoulder area before forming helps...

My wife thinks I have too much stuff, while I'm just finding my comfort zone....:)

In my M70 30-06 I use the 190 gr. LRAB propelled with RL-17. Sub-MOA accuracy and the velocity is smoking when loaded to 270 pressures and 3.440" LOA.

I have a 6mm AR which is a 6.5 Grendel necked down to 6mm. It is built on a CZ5527 action and wears a 24" 1/10 twist Shilen barrel. The ARC has the shoulder pushed back .050", but the case capacity is close. I'll send you a spreadsheet of all my loading data if you PM me your email address.

And the 7x57 was based off the early version of the 8x57 that was loaded with .318" bullets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrone_88

Actually a Brown Whelen is really close to a 9.3x62 case necked to 35 caliber. Just a different shoulder angle and being .010" larger at the shoulder. I haven't has any issue making 9.3x62 cases from the 30-06 brass I had on hand. Prime a 30-06 case, put 5-7 gr. of Bullseye inside, followed by...

I use RL-17 with 140 gr. Ballistic tips and the velocity and accuracy are stunning in a modern action.

If I were limited to one it would be the 9.3x62mm as it covers the entire game spectrum, but 6.5x55, and the 7x57 would be right up there.

I would recommend this loading article. https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/working-with-the-22-hornet-ml-mc-pherson-winter-2012/42112731 My Ruger M77/22H shoots way better with MP-300 as compared to Lil'Gun with 40 gr. bullets. The MP-300 was slightly slower, but had a much lower SD as...
