Benchmark anyone ??

[juicebox]

I am currently using Varget in my 6mm br loads. I would like to give Benchmark a try, I shoot 95 to 105gr bullets. What are starting and max loads.

I've found it to be a great powder. Especial for 223 but I also
use for the 90 grn bullets in my 6 BR and it works just fine.
At the moment I use 31 grns in a 26" bbl rifle. Caqn't help with
any other data though.

You'll find the information you need at the ADI website. ADI makes the powder for Hodgdon. Select rifle and Bench Mark 2 and follow your nose.

The ADI- Limited web site has benchmark 1 and benchmark 2. My container just sais Benchmark. Whats the differance

I tried Benchmark in my 6PPC's with 68 grain bullets. Metered like a dream, but didn't shoot as well as H322.
In the 6BR I feel it's just to fast especially with the heavier bullets.

Juicebox,

If you go to the webpage page below there is a neat table showing relative powder "quickness/equivalents" for major manufacturers. Bench Mark 1 is only sold in Australia and is ADI's attempt to match H322 roughly or really close to N133 without much temp sensitivity. Bench Mark 2 is the one sold in USA under the Hodgdon Benchmark brand and the data you'll need to compare to.
