6mm AI data

[Aaron307]

I'm just wondering if anyone has any pet loads with 105-108 grain bullets. I'm currently shooting n-160 outta my rifle.

That is my powder of choice for my 6mmai, but I can't help you with loads. Mine rifle has a 12 twist for strictly varmint bullets. Good luck,

Gary

H1000 always seems to perform the best, RL-22 and imr7828sc work well also. RL -22 gives the highest velocities .

I used H4831SC in my 2 6 AI's with 107 SMK's. 48.0 grains is a mild load but work up to it in your rifle. I was getting 3200 fps and accuracy was great. RL-22 was good also but pretty dirty powder and carbon fouling reared its head pretty quickly using it.

RL 25 produces amazing velocities out of my 25" barrel. For a while I was at 54 grains and getting 3400 fps out of the 105 A-max. It was pretty hard on primer pockets though. I backed off to 52 grains and am at about 3260 fps.

I haven't shot anything other than RE-22. 40X Guy gave me some great advice, the same he gave you. I have a decent quantity of RE-22 so stopped there. It is a little dirty, but shoots great. Having a lot of it on hand will result in me using it until I'm out.
Sierra's latest manual has data, which will at least give you some safe baselines to work from if you don't get any more input here.
