LT-32 in 6x47 Rermington?

[vtmarmot]

I finally got hold of some LT-32. I'd like to try it in my 6x47 Remington (.222 magnum/6mm). Has anyone worked up a load yet? Mine is a 40XBR 14" twist.

vtmarmot, I just got a 6x47 with same twist.
Still acquiring brass. What sizer & seating die did you go with?
Thanks.

It came with 88 rounds of brass and a Wilson sizer and seater. They work great. I have tried h-322 with 68 bergers and columns. No great results yet. I haven't spent a lot of time with it, but it's a neat old gun in great shape with an excellent bore. It came with some load suggestions for W-748 but I have avoided that powder due to temperature sensitivity.

a little help, maybe: i shoot a 6x45 and have a LT32 load of 25.1-25.3 with a 65 gr fb conaway bullet, .020 into the lands at 3330 fps and shoost in the ones and occ in the zeros! n133 was my powder of choice but am giving LT32 a trial with lighter bullets (58-64 gr).

Thanks, that may get me in the ballpark. I'll be cautious.

I shot a 40xbr like yours in the 70's in br comp. 69 gr sierrs match or 70 custom. 7 1/2 primers

the best powders were imr4895, blc2 and 4198, Mike Walker preferred 4895.
