Sierra Bullets Load Data 6.5-06

[Flouncer]

I am looking for the link to select Sierra cartridge load data. I have stumbled upon it twice, once each for .223 Remington and 8x57 Mauser and downloaded the .pdf. I am unable to locate the source ??? Specifically 6.5-06. - thanks

Hodgon has the date you are looking for. Don't know if it is Sierra Bullet data . I would call Sierra tech people. They will help you. Tommy Mc

H-1000 worked for me

 

[STOMP442]

You can also use 6.5-284 Data. case capacities between the two are nearly identical.

Stomp is spot on and 25-06 is real close also.

It's been around as a wildcat for a long time, A-Square legitimized it. If they're still around, they might have the data you're looking for.

I have my old load data and that of the source I used, from the the 1995 Sierra Anniversary Edition. I wanted to see a historical comparison to see if the Sierra has reduced the max loads or not in this cartridge. Hence the request. I currently do not have my old 3rd Edition, the ring binder one, only the notes I used back in 97' when I started to shoot. A more general question then is: are the newer editions of reloading data from published sources lighter than say 2 decades ago ? I specifically say published as in written books or manuals as Web sources can be edited and loses their provenance. - thanks

A-Square is long gone . . . . . .

R#22 has been money in the bank with 120,123,129, and 130g bullets for us, bug holes with speed are plentiful. Found two pounds of R#22 I want to try.

 

[Flouncer]

Yes Ackley, That is what I want to try. My go to was H4831. Can you recommend a starting and your max load for RL22 with 140/142 SMK ? All I have to do now is find some RL22. Berger and Hornady both show top loads of RL22 at 51.5g. I topped out on H4831 at 50.5 back a few years ago. Any thoughts on the powder changes lessening over time ? - thanks

Sierra has load data in their new book and on the mobile app.

 

[MikeT49]

I've got the new manual. What bullets and powders?

The OP can use the free Sierra app to figure it all out by himself. Much easier and faster that way.

Yep, you can buy the book for the cost of a box of bullets and support Sierra in the process!

Thanks Agg. That is an Android "App" and I use programs installed under Win10 on a PC. I tried to download it but that doesn't work. Just swithced to iPhone - Heh Heh Heh. I dont want it on any phone . .. . . .. Yes, I Understand I can purchase the entire 400 page manual for one cartridge, no sarcasm intended. I used to own it . . .. It actually got used to death. Final nails in the coffin were a fall from the book case and a very hungry teething chewing Standard Poodle puppy. RIP Sierra.

140g Game King and 142g Match King. Reloader 22 and H4831. Many thanks in advance.

 

[Just Say Moe]

The app doesn't list those powders

 

[6ShotsOr5?]

For the 142 gr stock # 1742 bullet, the 140 gr stock # 1740 bullet, and the 140 gr stock # 1730 bullet, they list the same powders: N540, IMR4451 End., A 4350, H4350, RE16, RE17, Hybrid 100V, and RE19.
