6x47L - n160 and 115's

[BreakBad]

New to the 6mm world, would be grateful for some advice:

I am looking for some data on running BN coated 115 DTACS through a 7.75tw 27" barrel (benchmark) using n160. I'm stocked up on n160 but only have a limited amount of h4350. Using Wolf Small Mag primers necked down 6.5x47L brass.

I have some naked 115's I could try. But if I'm barking up the wrong tree I'd rather "wheel & deal" for a different bullet or powder.

N160 is a tad slower than H4350. I use 38.1grs of H4350 in my 6-6.5 x 47 using 115 DTAC's.. It is a "near-max" load and it shoots well... Basically, whatever loads you can find with H4350 you can use with N160 and up to about 3/4gr more powder would not be too much...

My 28" 8tw 6-47L really shoots 38.0gr RL-17 well.

Thanks I'll give it a go then.
