Wow - for about 20 years or so I've been using Reloader 22 with the 95 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip, and also the 100 gr Nosler Partition, for the little 6mm Remington.
RL-22 was one powder I was low on when this shortage crept up on us - and that already affected my loading with the 7mm Remington Magnum. I switched to IMR 8133. Am happy with my results with that.
Looking at alternatives for the 6mm Remington, the only good looking choice I have on hand is H4350, and I do have rather a lot of that. 40 years ago I used IMR 4350 almost exclusively in the little 6mm Rem, and it did fine. Looks like I'm back to Hodgdon's version, H4350.
I also have some Ramshot Hunter here, three or four pounds. I wonder if it would work well? Hmm, Ramshot shows some promising loads for the 95 & 100 grain bullets with it... Well, well, well.... :grin:
