6 ppc w/ lighter bullets

[potatoe]

Hey guys. I was wondering if some of you's have some lighter bullet loads for the PPC. I'm looking at the 55-58's (mainly varmint bullets) I've been having some pretty darn good groups with N133 which is the main powder I shoot. I've been using a strong charge (not sure if I can post it) with 55 nosler BT's and I'm getting 3500+ fps.

With the winter time coming I've been tossing the idea possibly doing a different caliber but I am finding it hard to get away from my PPC's. I came across some stuff on the google box about using n130 and some AA powders that are a little faster than 133 and they were able to get 3600 fps. So if anyone could give me some new info on this I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Potatoe (you must have known Dan Quayle!), I got my first 6 PPC last year and now am hopelessly addicted to it. My varmint rig is a Cooper Model 21 in 6 PPC and I have had some very good groups with it using the 55-gr. Sierra B-K over 29.0-gr. of Benchmark. The load I use in my BAT SV required both hands to open the bolt in the little Cooper. Won't do that again! Planning to use this load on coyote in a couple weeks.

Thanks Reed, I've tried BM and got some decent groups. I never got it over the chrono though. Those 55 BK's should make short work of coyotes.

55 gr B-tips and 30 gr of AA2200=3800fps and about 1/4 inch groups at 100 yards

Thanks Tom. Thats the loads I was looking for. Did you try other AA powders as well?

Not much in the way of other powders tried. but did try lighter bullets. 45 gr hp with 33 gr of 2200 for over 4000 FPS

Which maker of 45grain bullets did you use?

It has been years since I have been In contact with the man. I don't think he is a spring chicken.
