I am thinking about trying the 55gr ballistic tip in my 6mm Remington rifle. The rifle has a Remington 700 action which has been trued and lug's lapped. The barrel is a Hart Max HV (12 twist) sitting in a McMillan Marksman stock. Any suggestions
Cartridge : 6 mm Rem.
Bullet : .243, 55, Nosler BalTip 24055
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.825 inch or 71.76 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch or 609.6 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 63000 psi, or 434 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 105 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !
90 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.
