I am trying to find load data for some 6ARC loads but not that much is out there so I am relying on Quickload, Gordons Reloading Tool, and Hodgdons website to make my decisions BUT.....
Hogdons website shows 27.5-30.6 LVR and for that load 2678-2957 ft/sec and 37800-51300 PSI pressure
QL use the same charge of 27.5-30.6 LVR and for that load 2555-2867 ft/sec and 34500-48400 PSI pressure
GRT use the same charge of 27.5-30.6 LVR and for that load 2759-3083 ft/sec and 39800-58400 PSI pressure
I am using the same information for all 3 loads: same bullet, same COAL, same trim length. Same everything.
The velocity is not that big of initially but the pressures are. Does Hodgdon do test firing for each load. I don't think so. What do you guys rely on to make your initial loads?
