Question Loading 6mmPPC

[fdent1]

I have loaded several BR calibers, 6mmBR, 6.5x284BR, 30cal.BR as well as 6.5 Grendel and been fairly successful. I have recently purchased a 6mmPPC BR Rifle for 100yd. club BR league. I purchased some finished 6mm PPC cases trimmed for a no neck trim chamber(which is what my rifle has). Everything fits well.... so I decided to load the cases and I noticed most of the popular loads (for the two powders I use, VVn133 & 8208XBR) 28.0grs and above for n133 and 28.8grs and above for the 8208XBR. I have found the following, with n133 a full case is 27.2grs, and with 8208XBR a full case is 28.2rs.

I will start out 10% below the favorites to be safe but is it true that these favorite loads are all compressed? With the case full how do I get a load of 28.2grs(a low end favorite) of n133 or 28.8grs (a favorite for 8208XBR) of 8208XBR in the case?

Some additional facts:

All cases were made by Ron Hoehn and fit perfectly in my Wilson case guage.
My scale is a Hornady digital which was calibrated after the first full case was noted!
I would like to use a 69gr FB match Berger bullets


Has anyone else had this problem?

Dusty,
You are correct I have not fireformed them yet.......the cases are 220 russian prepared by Ron Hoehn for 6mmPPC...........

After fired formed you will see the difference. Please read the cartridge guide from main page. For the history of the cartridge. It's important to understand the process of forming brass for your rifle

If ron prepped them for a no turn neck then they are weight sorted, expanded and deburred only. They are still russian cases and need to be formed with a min charge in your rifle
