Max 6br load

What would be max load of AA2230 with 58 v- max bullet?

AA2230 is best in mine. Don't know what "max loads are. Most accurate working loads in my gun are the 58Vmax load with 35.0/2230=3855fps. With 55gr. Blitzkings it's 35.5gr/2230 @ 3919. It's really whatever shoots best in your gun and shows no signs of overpressure. These loads were done in '05 with a new keg. Powder lots since then could well have changed a bit.

I'm loading 34.6 AA2230 with 58 vmax's in a couple of zero freebore 6BRs, one has a Shilen barrel and the other a Krieger. They shoot tight little groups.....but, what properly built 6BR doesn't ?

Both run about 3775 to 3800 depending on the tempeture, be sure to use a CCI 450 primer and Lapua brass.....otherwise things get sticky real fast.

Using a muzzle brake on these 6BRs while shooting praire dogs puts a constant smile on ones face.....makes you forget about any other rifle you brought along......just saying.
 
The Hornady Manual shows Accurate 2230 at a max of 31.6 doing 3500 using a COAL of 2.140” Rem 7 1/2 Primer, 24” bbl 1:14 twist.
6 BR section pp 229.
