6.8 SPC loads
Anyone have any load data they would be willing to share for the 6.8 SPC. I would like to try some heavier bullets, specifically 130 gr soft points.

Thanks

Both of these powder manufacturers have data for 130gr bullets.

Zak Smith has been reloading 6.8SPC almost since brass became available on the civilian market. His reloading data are here.

If you get a chance, pick up the issue of SGN with the red, white, and blue AR on the cover - Zak has written the most comprehensive article to date on the 6.8 cartridge and rifles that shoot it.

Thank you gentlemen. It appears that no one has any first hand experience with this cartridge, particularly with the heavier 130 gr bullets.

I've been trying to find out info on 130 gr bullets myself. Nothing yet! I'd almost be willing to get an AR upper in 6.8 if it'll push a 130 gr Nosler Partition fast enough...
