6 ARC with 2520 ?

[cro789]

Has anyone tried this powder with 105 in the 6 ARC? I was looking at trying?

Go to Hogdon's website. They have published load data using 2520.

Yes sir I did, it shows a max of 30.0gn at 2850fps in a bolt gun. My question is has anyone used that load configuration and the results they got. I am wanting to use a 105 Berger in Lapua brass with Fed primers.

In a bolt gun or AR? What barrel length? Load length?

If speed is what you want Lever is the answer.

Mine is an AR 22" 1:7T
I started at 28.4 Lever @ 2631 Barrel hadn't speed up yet.
Last time out (250 rounds on barrel) Berger 105 Hyb seated 2.270/1.663, Lapua 6.5 Grendel brass, CCI #41, 29.6 Lever gave 2736 sd 5.9
Lever 30.0gr = 2782 sd 7.0

Those ballistics are close to 18in 6.5 creed at 1K, and SD looks great,
how was the MOA accuracy of the load on paper?

Broke in a new barrel and it’s shooting very well with just factory ammo.
