Nosler 6mm 55 gr Shots - Reloading Info

[acloco]

Picked up a 243 barrel and hoped to run some of these.

From a quick search, looks like they will provide accuracy at great speed.

Any other experience with them?

Friend got some a while back and I helped him work up some loads. Just used starting data on 58 gr VMax which was easy to find.
Good luck.

Thank you. Hodgdon yearly manual lists data for 55 gr BT and 55 gr SP bullets. SP data starting charge weight is lower than the BT. Wish they provided bullet part number in the load info.

That 55gr data will work fine, just use the starting loads and work up carefully till you found pressure or a load you like. Figure there isn't a whole bunch of difference in 6mm 55gr designs...

The 55 gr "Shots" are a rather bull nose design - not the normal spitzer/etc. Thank you for the guidance.

yeah--just do what OKeyote said--be fine--start 10 pct below min. if you are worried
I have got them sizzling out of a 6x284--explosive terminal performance

Nosler does not list bullet part numbers either. Thanks for the info, actually started there.
