Hodgdon Reloading Data

[archerforkids]

I was wanting to verify some 6MM BR loads on Hodgdons website. Why in the world is it only generating Accurate powder info when you enter 105 grain bullets?

Dunno, but if you click the 6BR Rem that is listed just above the 6BR Norma you'll get powders you would expect for 107 Gr bullet. Cheers

by checkin burn rates, and bullet wt to powder ratio's etc etc and a search on here and other reloading data sites, one should come to a conclusive safe load data eutopia. that's what I usually do or just ask someone for help, I ask Bill Norris for some help and he was gracious and kind and opened his secret load data, he spilled the beans..

They added 6BR Norma? When did that happen? I've been referencing the 6BR Remington data for the past 8 years (which is largely worthless, as the max pressure is way conservative.)

On the hornady app its even worse! just a few light bullet loads for 6br rem

Because when they started distributing Accurate powders and added Accurate load data to their program, no other powders were listed or tested.

That makes sense.
Thanks folks

Try the ADI website and cross their powders to the rebadged Hodgdon powders:

Let this chart provide some guidance:

Powder equivalents

Powder equivalents Note: This table shows only approximate equivalent values within about 5%. Actual burning rates can vary depending on the calibre, firearm, loading components and practices, as well as from powder lot to lot. As a consequence, it must be understood that Australian Munitions...

Hodgdon and ADI Powder Equivalents « Daily Bulletin

Many of the most popular powders sold under the Hodgdon brand in the USA (including Varget and H4350) are made by ADI Ltd. in Australia. Some load manuals list ADI data, but not Hodgdon data, or vice-versa, so we've compiled this list of equivalent powders.

Good Info

Probably one or two reasons, Only powder they tested with it, or the powder they found to work best with it.

Good Info

It is.
Now for 107gr you have the choice of loads with:
AR2219/H322
Bench Mark 2/BenchMark
Bench Mark 8208 <......does this have a Hodgdon equivalent ?
AR2206H/H4895
AR2208/Varget

Max pressures still look low (though I know Copper Units are different than PSI.) As I said above it is a reference, just not sure how useful a reference it is.

The very best recommendations come from the bullet manufacture. Hodgdon will only recommend what they sell. So if you use Berger bullets use their data. Hornady use theirs. They want to offer the best loads in order to sell their bullets.
