H335 for 6mm AI

[Bocapilot]

New to 6mm Akley Improved. I’ve got H335 and cannot find load data for this powder and 6mm Remington. Any help appreciate

Maybe because it's not a suitable option? Depending on bullet weight, I would start with something in the 4350 to RL22 burn rate.

Yes my thoughts as well. But like I mentioned I’m new to this and looking for the experience of the group for suggestions. Thanks for your input

Have you fireformed your cases in the Ackley chamber? If not a near max book load for the standard 6mm Rem with cheap bullets & a mid-burner (i.e. 4895 or so) should give good results.

You are way on the wrong end of the burn rate with 335. ^^^^^ 4350 4831 is where you want to be.

Probably because it’s too fast. You are aware of burn rates? Get a book and follow it. Very knowledgeable and experienced people on this forum but asking for load data on the internet is a bad idea

Haha internet advice. Gotcha. Perhaps the question could have been rephrased. Where can I find the data? Have one book also been on Hodgdon site. Wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing a potential place to find load data. Thanks for responding. Much appreciated

Hodgon has 6mm Remington. Not Ackley.

I wouldn’t use 335 in that cartridge, even if I could find data.

335 is not suitable at all in the 6mm rem, not even with the lightest bullets made

Yes, that is not a suitable powder for the 6mm AI. You need something like H4350, IMR 4350, H4831, IMR 4831, RL19. VV160 worked very well in mine. Maybe RL22 or 7828. Powders in that burning rate range, depending on what weight bullets you are shooting. I believe that Sierra has data for the 6mm AI.

What weight bullets are you planning to shoot? I also shoot a 6 A.I.
