6BRA load data

@DHuffman
That 30.5 certainly has promise, I have I believe 5 lbs of lot number. Im definitely more comfortable with this lot vs my other one that kinda went nuclear on me.

What's the other lot#?

Hard to say, the number is mostly gone, I had been running it in a 308 where a 155 scenar on top of 44.2 gr was zipping along >2860 ish
A sight in period in this 6 Ackley showed pressure above 30.5 ish

At 58 degrees this morning my lot of H4895 at 30.7 was running 3001 FPS.

They were a mix. One of mine, one of Roy’s and one vapor in each.

That’s no stinking ladder! Those are what’s called groups.

 

[Alex Wheeler]

Most of the time what we call a ladder is groups. I still use the term ladder sometimes to describe groups shot at the same poi. I think it confuses people and I try not to say that anymore. I will still shoot a "real" ladder to rough in a pencil barrel to find an area to shoot groups.

Alex,

I’ll be honest! I was trying to hit the middle of that orange dot for each group! I’d shoot one shot at a gong (beside the Target) and then hold or click to try and hit the dot! Just shows I’m a poor score shooter!

Boy, you'd have three really nice groups without the one flier in each one, hahahaha. That's why you should stop at 2!

I ain't having any luck with this 4895 I have.but 8208 seems to be doing pretty good.
7.83 twist Brux .. Barts 103 Hammers ..30 8208 and Fed 205 GMM.

Think I might shoot this load in 300 meter UBR match Saturday.

Can you share your velocity?
Little info on your rifle specs.

If anyone has load data for RL 15 and 80 grain bergers, I would appreciate it if you posted it.

 

[Don Shelton]

Is anyone over 32.2 grains RL15 with 108 Berger’s? Starting load development today with a 7.5 twist 29” barrel. It was cold and windy..38 degrees...not ideal. I got to 32.2 and it seemed to just start to group and es was 3... I’m using wolf primers and Peterson brass??

31.1 was hot in my 28" w/ 105, wolf and Lapua, and gave well over 3100 w/ stiff bolt, but it was in pretty warm weather and it's probably the least stable powder I know of. Doubt this helps you, but it's all I got on rl15.

I couldn’t get my lab on target. I was shooting 300 yards and the range has a roof over the benches that prevents idiots from shooting over the berm. I used “ snipe” and shotmarker and estimate I was at about 2900 FPS....

R15 is crazy temperature sensitive? Nuh uh... (sarcasm)

My experience only, RL15 is stable when you have the bullet into the lands.

Recently, I tested Re 15 in my BRA with charges from 31.4 to 32.2. In my BAT, the 32.2 load was too hot. The 31.4 load shot better with 2 different primers than did any other load. This was in cool weather.
