6mm Rem and RL 25

[TimS]

I have a 6mm AI and have waited 2+ years to find RL 26. I have a few pounds of RL 25. Anyone have any experience with this combination. Will be shooting Berger 95 grain VLD’s. Does QL have any information?

Thanks for your help.

Howdy !

Here's as close as I can get to what you asked about.....

I shoot a 6mm wildcat. ( " DEEP 6 " ), which has a chamber cut by running a 6mm Remington reamer in " short " ; for a nominal .466" base diam. Case capacity is 51.2gr H2O.

My max load for RL-26 under Sierra 95TMK is 44.3gr.
My max load for RL-25 under the 95TMK is 43.7gr.
And, the max load for RL-23 is a little less still; than the max load for RL-25.
I shoot FED Large Magnum Rifle Match primers in all of my " DEEP 6 " loads.
You charges of course, could/would be higher.

I DK is that helps you any ?!


With regards,

Thanks 357. That does help. I’ve reached out to Alliant for information as well.

R25 wil do you just fine, I shot lots of it in a 6mm AI with 85 grain Sierra's years ago.
You'll need to pressure it up good, it didn't like slow..
