Future 6mm ARC load Data, Gas & bolt gun
#1
What should we look forward to in terms of additional 6mm ARC load data? Suppose I am a little over anxious for Nosler & Sierra load data. More I think about this the more I doubt we will see anything more interns of Bolt gun load data for non Hornady bullets.

Additional Bolt gun load data is what I am honestly a bit thirsty for. Suppose I really should be quite happy with what is out there currently. Recently acquired some Sierra SKU: 4110 100 Grain TGK & the SKU: 1570 107 gr HPBT MATCHKING.

Aw we are currently looking at another cold snowy windy weekend & I am just a bit impatient for better shooting weather.

Won't be long & we will be looking at mosquito season.

CZ, I too am curious about the Sierra 107 & 95 SMK series, but in gassers. I guess I just need to motivate myself a little more today and do some searching in the various forums for folks posting their results with them. I look forward to your results on the TMK & SMK projectiles.

I have been waiting for those 100 TGK's.... thanks for mentioning!
Snagged a couple boxes.

I will use the Hornady data to morph these over, probably for bolt, working up. The 103 Eldx data should be pretty close. Same form factor, close to same BC...

Nosler needs to make 6mm bullets before they do load data.

Stonehenge, agree. I sure want to try those Nosler 115-grain RDFs.
I e-mailed Barnes about data for their 85-grain TTSX:

Hi guys:
I know everyone is working their tail off right now to catch up with this crazy demand. But when your ballisticians come up for air, it sure would be nice to see some load data for the 6mm ARC and your 85-grain TTSX BT.
You are probably aware that Hornady has published data for gas guns at 52,000 psi and bolt guns at up to 62,000. I could likely work with their data for the 90-grain Hornady GMX Creedmoor but with your bullet in working up a load for New Mexico deer and antelope for my Savage bolt-action rifle.
I became very fond of your Triple Shock bullets when I got to use them in my handloads in 9,3X62 in Namibia 14 years ago. My PH was delighted when I gave him a box of TSXs as part of his tip, as they were the only bullet he would shoot.
Very best,

Bill,

Thank you for choosing to shoot Barnes Bullets and fellow 9.3x62 shooter! Go ahead and use the 6mm ARC (Bolt Gun) Hornady 85-87 gr data from pg 248 of the most recent, 11th edition of the Hornady reloading manual. Just make sure you begin with the starting powder charges and work up.

Any testing with Vihtavuori N540? How does it compare with Hodgdon LVR or CFE Pistol?
