i just loaded converted all of my geco x39 brass from 6.5 gren to 6mm arc , for the fireforming step ive loaded them with some 90g sierra fmj gamekings that i had with 29g of 6.5 staball and a federal 210 primer it going to be slow af but sinc ei have 20+ pounds of the stuff its perfect for the ff step instead of using up the good powders i have. ill see how it works tommorow when i get out of work ill prolly chrono a few rounds just for ████s n giggles
hogdon says a 100/103g bullet with 30.7g of 6.5 staball = 49.8K presure and 2600 fps so i should be more then safe
the interesting thing is hogdon shows 65 staball beating out all other arc powders except ppv and 2000-mr which shows as slightly behind 6.5 staball with the 110-115g bullets so if i ever decide to buy some lr target bullets like the 110 a-tip or the 115 rdf ill have to do some testing
