<Martindog>Looking for Some QuickLoad Help
6.5 Swede, 22" bbl
Sierra 107 HPBT Match, Moly coated
Lapua case
Ramshot TAC
I am looking for a load that generates no more than 50K psi. I would like to know what velocitiesa re reported to compare with my chrono as a pressure indicator. Ramshot is working on Swede data, but they haven't published it yet.
Thanx,
Martindog

krakyFWIW--quickload suggests using alot slower powders like re22 and the 4831's. Anyhow it came up with 40 grains being just under 50K psi. It's only using 75% of case capacity and is guessing a velocity of 2921 fps.

<Martindog>Thanx Kraky. I've got slower powders as well and I will try those also. I just thought that since 107s are on the light side for that caliber, that a quicker powder might be more appropriate. Also, Ramshot has TAC data for 270 and 308 Winchester so I don't think it's a huge stretch. But I do have IMR 4895, H-414, IMR 4350, RL19 and RL22 so between all of those I ought to find one that works reasonably well.
