6XC Max Loads with 105 Berger

[jesilva]

Having poured over the available threads on this combination, can anyone provide me with max loads for H4831SC, RL-17, RL-16, Imr 4350, and Imr 4895.

Thanks

Work up loads, your rifle will tell what's max for your individual rifle

Could you please provide starting loads then. I figured with Max loads then I could determine starting loads myself. The dilemma is that with the powders I asked about, is everyone seems to use them, but there is no published data for them.

4831 start at 41gr, imr 4350 start at 37gr, re 17- 37gr, should be good starting points
my load with h4831sc is 43.5gr

Thank you. I currently shoot H4350, but I have less than 1 pound left. I also have a good load with Accurate 4350, but was looking for something else more available.

I personally think the 17,4350's will max around 40.5grs. but your rifle may hit max before or after depending on chamber,brass,barrel length,temp, ect ect.. I don't know about the 4831's....RL26 is between 43.5 and 45.0 gr max..
So start at 37.0 and work up is good advise or 38.0 and up.

Varget, start at 34 grs and work up. My rifle likes 35 with the 105-108 gr Bullets.

Take care,

I have the Berger Manual, and one thing that surprised me is that in the 6XC, the most commonly used powders don't seem to be represented (4350, 4831...)

Accurate 4350 is a little slower than the H version. It's also a little faster than H-4831. Start at 36 and work up. My rifle likes 40.5 of Accurate 4350 with the 105 - 108 gr Bullets.

Not a big fan of the Berger Reloading book, it lacks info on several cartridges, 6XC, 6.5-284 for starters.. you are right, it doesn't represent the powders that are producing the best accuracy with.
I'm sure they use a program that generates burn rate and a formula. Don't know for sure, but sure is frustrating arguing with folks that a given load is well known to shoot very well and they refer to Berger Book like the Bible and say it's not in here and can't be good..geezzz. lol

I'm already fixed up fine, just surprised that H4350 and H4831 aren't represented in the 6XC loadings.

The 6 XC load data will be available after the cartridge gets SSAMI approval. If you cant find load data in the manual. Contact us at techsupport@bergerbullets.com. We can help.
