Fellows:

I have been using 37 gr of 3031 with the 85/87 gr bullets for 30 years. Speed is about 3100 and it is an excellent load for whitetail and antelope,very accruate as well.

I use the above load in a K98 Mauser with a 20'
Shaw barrel, weights 5 1/2 pounds with scope.

I am making a request for similiar loads to use with the Nosler Partation bullet at the same weights since this gun will not accruately shoot the 90 or 100 grain bullets.

Thanks

My 6mm Remington -- a Remington 700 Varmint Special with a heavy 24 inch barrel; it is the older one with the pressed checkering on the stock -- gives good accuracy only with IMR 4064 powder, of all the many powders I've tried in it. I'd recommend about 41 grains as a max load of it with 85 grain bullets. Start lower and work up.

I have a Rem 700 sporter in 6mm Rem. I tried 45 gr.of N150 with 85gr Sierra's this year.Groups have been in the 1/2" area. This load is at or over max so start at least 10% below and work up.
