6mm Creedmoor Load Data ?

Dogpatch · July 23, 2017, 12:56 PM

Anyone have load data for the 6mm Creedmoor. I just bought the Ruger Precisoin and am having a hard time finding load data for HPBT's in the 107g range. Actually it's hard to find any data but I'd like to be shooting the 107 - 108 range.
Thank you,
Dogpatch.

You do not need bullet manufacture specific or type/shape of the bullet data. Only the weight matters. Except for stuff like Barnes's solid copper bullets. They have Creedmoor data too though. http://www.barnesbullets.com/load-data/
There's Creedmoor data on Hodgdon's site. 95, 100 and 107 grains and up.

Also on Vihtavuori's.

I would respectfully disagree with the notion that bullet manufacturer or type is not a factor is load consideration. The length of a bullet's bearing surface will contribute to its pressure generation. If you are running at the edge pressures with a VLD bullet, I would caution to reduce powder charge if you try a bullet with a Tangent ogive like many hunting bullets.

6mm CM. This is gonna get better. Can't wait for the 7mm CM, the 30 CM and the 358 CM.

The bullet manufacturer or type is irrelevant when reloading. Only the weight matters. The length of a bullet's bearing surface has nothing to do with pressure either.

Are you saying that .200 of bearing surface seated in the neck will produce
equal pressure as .300 seated in the neck and that the same difference in bearing surface doesn't alter pressure as the bullet travels down the barrel?
