N135 Data for the 6 Arc
- Thread starter KMW 1954
- Start date
I think N140 or N150 would be better choices.
Mab be the case but I do not have any of those. I do have 2lbs of N135. Even just a starting point would be helpful.
Did that last night. Though the page that came up after I sent it says if it isn't on their webpage data then there isn't at at this time.
That's not true as they sent me the above data and it wasn't on their page.
Again that was a message after I sent them email. Still hoping they can provide at least a starting point. Might even be this powder isn't suitable for the ARC. Will post back if I hear from them.
They will. They don't even list the 6mm ARC in their reloading data with any powder so hopefully they will add it eventually with people asking for the data.
Here is what GRT had to say for the 87vmax and 105 bthp with n135. Powder input is max pressure and the steps are 0.3 grain increments. Personally I would start 2.0 grains less than each max load to start and work up.
Please use these at your own discretion as these are just a calculation and not real world data.
87 vmax - 27.1 grains n135 (MAX LOAD)
105 bthp - 24.7 grains n135 (MAX LOAD)

Received email from a Bob Blain from Capstone with a nice explanation that they do not have data for the N135 because it just isn't suitable for the ARC. Not enough case capacity it seems. Though he did provide two nice spreadsheets with data for both the 87gr and 105gr bullets using a wide variety of powders.
Can't say enough about their full and timely response, it is most excellent! Now I have to revise one load and maybe add another!

Sure, need to reformat it first. Right now it's embedded in an email.

I had a 1:8 twist PPC a few years ago and shot 135 and 2520 in it with 103gr bullets.
I will dig through my log and see what I can come up with.

Edit
I was shooting a little over 26.0gr of N -135 in my PPC with 103 gr bullets. No telling about what pressure I was running? I no longer have the barrel or action. I seated a bullet in a case and asked the smyth to run his throating reamer in until the dummy round would chamber.
This was a Panda that handled a PPC well.
It shot well and was a hoot to shoot. This was an old dasher barrel that was a seriously good barrel, so I had it rechambered so I could “play”.
