Who has been trying 90 gr GMX's or E-tips

[CZ527 Guy]

Anyone here been reloading 90 gr GMX in their 6mm ARC?  If so what has been your favored propellant? Curious what is working for folks.

I was hoping someone would recommend some powders. At least then I would have a little to start on other than the Hornady book .

I've run 90gr Scenar with LVR, easy 3050fps with 32gr and on a really really hot day I hit 3148fps with the same charge.

Ive also used CFE223 with 90gr BT, 31.3gr will give you 2930fps. 32gr of LVR with BT gives 3060fps

I can't help with 90's yet, but do have some coming.

I've been trying to get some consistency (for too long) out of A-Max 105's with no luck, so I've put them away and ordered some Hornady 103, 108 and also some 90gr Sierra TGK.

A2520, CFE and LVR appear to be the most popular, I tried Tac, Varget and A2520 and chose 2520.

27.09gr of 2520 and a 105gr A-Max net me 2528fps, SD 6.4, ES 21 using Fed 205MAR primers.

Oddly regular Fed 205 primers are lower, SD 5.4, ES 15.

That may well be my Triggertech not wacking the MAR primers hard enough (?) that's the only possible reason I can think of, but doesn't necessarily make it so.

Received a notification from midway today on .243 did 90 grain CX bullete in stock. Looked when I got home from work. Status on the .243 cal 90 grain CX is simply coming soon. I am nearly ready to commit to the 85 grain Lehigh defense Controlled Chaos, for my lead free deer hunting bullet consideration.

I got the same and for 6mm ARC brass and it was coming soon also.

90 gr CX is Hornady's higher BC offering in 2022. unfortunately they never made it to market until after deer season last fall. Left me opting for a all copper bullet that was available. As this worked out the 87 grain Absolute Hammer was my chosen hunting bullet for deer season last fall.

The 87 grain Hammer did not disappoint on either of the whitetail doe's taken the afternoon of opening day each right at 100 yards. First deer was a boiler room shot top of heart & resulted in a 80 yard death run. 2nd deer only offered a head neck shot due to the very tall cover. Turns out a neck shot is very lethal. DRT

I did some 90 copper nosler with 28.2 grains of tac and my rifle liked it. California deer recipe for sure
