The 6 sst was brought to life today by Eric Goss AxisWorks Tempe Az He ran some virgin prepped brass (300 saum parent) with 110 Sierra's and 58-61 grains Retumbo @ 2.883 coal. Velocity ran 3300-3475. It looks like about 55.5 grains will run max PRS velocity at very mild pressure, and we expect, good barrel life. Eric said that 8 different loads with magspeed bayo attached went under 1"!

Where's the picture of the cartridge?

Does anybody make 10 round mags for the Saums yet?
 
Hey Rich,

Any data or recommendation using 4350 in the 6 SST? I have a TON of 4350 that I use in my 6xc but might be looking to put that on some steroid and beef up to the 6sst. If i could push the Berger 115 VLD hunter 3000-3100 FPS I'd be set.

It will do that with ease. Thats a fast powder for the sst, but it will run that fast on a lot of different fuels. Probably start around 50 grains.
 
My predictions in no particular order.
A) Barrel life of 500-800 rounds at 'normal' pressure
B) Barrel life of 1200-1800 rounds at PRS limit
C) Carbon fouling building pressure after 50 rounds w/o cleaning
D) Bullets start blowing up about 500 rounds in


Probably laser flat trajectories though.
