Interesting. I’ve handloaded for mostly wildcats
6mm AI is my most recent coyote gun. Typically a lot of interpolation off of 6mm REM data in load manuals. I usually cross check with 6mm-284 load data …..example would be if 6mm AI is 9.6% more case capacity I will start with 6mm REM max load and more up slowly to about 9% over that. But if I check 6mm-284 load data and if at any point I’m above published 6mm-284 data I know I’m probably too high for 6mm AI and just won’t go there.
Chronograph and brass inspection after each shot will tell me a lot. I’ve learned not to push the envelope and pay attention. An extra 50 FPS isn’t worth the danger.
I’ve done this with bolt guns
This is my first gasser i will be reloading for.
I really prefer temp stable powders…..I’m kinda OCD like that. I just noticed 15.5 falls between CCE and LVR.
But powders do what powders do
