Nosler #5 load data request (grovel)

It'll be over by Xmas! Now where have I heard that before?

Could someone with the new Nosler #5 manual that is a goodly 3 months plus away from us do me a teeny weeny little favour and post a couple of lines of data please?

I'm after the 90gr ballistic tip data for 6mm rem. Especialy the vihtavuori line (N160?) but also any single base IMR or Hodgdon powders such as 4350 or 4831. (also what case, primer and barrel length tested)

Eternal thanks in advance!

Bob,

Many thanks indeed! The IMR data looks good - what was the top velocity? 3,300fps?

If yours shoots like mine anything from 80 to 90 grs will like RL19 the best.And believe me I have tried just about every powder you can think of.26 inch bbl.
