6MM Ackley Improved with 95 grain bullets

[40X Guy]

Anyone shooting 95 grain bullets in their 6MM Ackley Improved? I am looking for some pet loads and i am wanting to start with Sierra 95 grain MK's in my 27.5 inch HV profile 8 twist Shilen barrel. I want to bust em out fast and try to outrun the wind, ;D. In my other 6AI I strictly shoot 105 lapuas or 107 Sierra's and H4831SC is perfect for that combo. (28.5 inch barrel) Do I need to go a tad faster in burn rate powder wise?
Just not alot of info out there for this class of bullets and i have already browsed the 6MMAI angelfire site and many other sites.

I'd suggest H4350 or Rl19.

Your case is a little bigger than the 243 AI Im running for Yotes. I played with alot of powders and the 4350 to Reloader 22 gave the best speed and accuracy. I would look in that burn rate.
From Memory ( which is a little scary) N560, R22, R19 and H4831 where the top producers in a 25" Kreiger.

( 95gr Berger VLD for me) Its a laser....

I've found RL-22 has always given me the best speed and accuracy with 95 grainers. H1000 is really good but 100fps slower. IMR 7828sc is also another good powder to consider.

I have not had a chance to try the 7828SSC.. I have some so maybe it will get tested down the road. It is right there with R22, N560, N165, Norma MRP in burn rate. Looks like the same powders can be used as the 105class bullets possably? 40X sounds like you have everything you need on the shelf.. always a plus.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I am thinking I will start with some RL-19 and the tried and true H4831SC, followed by some RL-22 and H4350. 244ACK would like to pm about loads for 95 grainers and what 95 grain pill are you using? Russ, I am also thinking that same powders can be used as the 105 class bullets. I pretty much have most of the powders listed by everyone here.

Try 47 gr of RL 22 with a Fed 210 and you will be happy.

That's what I find as well.

I had a 6-284 in a 10 twist to shoot the 95 VLD's, and settled on regular 7828 as the go juice, the same as my other in an 8 twist with 105's.
