Dan Dowling built me a 6ppc with a 7.5 twist barrel and set it up for 105's. As soon as the snow melts I will be out to the range and update how it works out. Anybody have any input on powder that has worked for them??

A friend of mine was shooting a fast twist PPC at 900m about 25 years ago, and doing well with it. He was also using the 6BR and stuck with it as it was just a bit better. It was about this time that people were just starting to shoot the BR at 1000 yds, and doing well with it. WH

N135 should be the first choice of powder for that id think.

It should at least be very close, maybe a tad bit fast but not far off. Worth a try. I've found aa2230 and aa2460 to both work well in a 6 Grendel with 80's. It's a really fine grained powder that meters well, too. Those two are pretty close to one another speed wise. I actually blended them to optimize fill rate and it works great. I tried it because 8208, another good option, was so hard to find. It wound up maybe being the best of them all. I still don't know how temp stable it is or isn't but running a tuner, I don't worry about that quite as much as I use to. Still good to have a stable load, just not a game changer with a tuner, imo.

In this dry thin mountain air, I use 135 in my dashers all year long. It is the cat's pajamas with a 103.

I'm using Vit N540 with 90 Scenars, 105 Berger VLD & 107SMK. Works well, N140 should also be OK or N530 although I understand that is going to be discontinued.

That gives me several good ones to start, now if I can just get rid of the snow.
