I think one of the reasons there's not a lot of info on it out there is because it's a relatively recent entrant in a very crowded area and wasn't something often seen despite good initial reviews. Even Accurate only lists data for 95s in 6PPC and 60s/70s in 6BR. And the 95 they used was a Berger VLD in a 1:14 twist! I was curious and put max velcity through Berger's twist calculator and the SG was around 0.56. Berger comment for that is "Your bullet is unstable. Expect bad accuracy, tumbling bullets and keyholes in targets."
I'm going to make up a string with 80s and 90s and use 95gr PPC charge as a reference point. My Sierra manual is old. They did a lot of testing with it in 6x45 (where I'm also going to try it to preserve my stash of Benchmark) but nothing in 6PPC or 6BR. Would be interesting to see if they tried it in later editions with either.
