skb2706poster on 24HCF named Mntngoat he shoots one and probably has very good loading data.
I shoot a 6mm 30-30 AI which is similar but longer body.

skb2706We had compared some data and specs in the past regarding the two rounds. Are you getting dies and any of his data as well.

skb2706What you planning on doing with it ?
It should launch 58 gr. Vmaxs. out around 3200 fps maybe better. 80 gr. bullets to somethng around 2700 maybe more.

mjshellmostly punch paper. it has 1 in 8 twist, so it should stabilize the longer heavier bullets.
i enjoy working up accurate loads and making encores shoot.
also, i will probably work up a varmit load.
