I'm looking for load data for 6mm-06AI for a Douglas 1-12 twist barrel and 100 grain bullet. Thank you | ||

1-12 twist is pretty slow for 100gr 6mm pills. I'm pretty sure you want atleast a 10 twist if not a 9. With a 12 I don't know that you would want to go much over 80gr. | |||

Per Shilen 6mm/.243 - 8" Special for VLD bullets over 100 gr. - 8"* Ratchet rifled 4 groove - 10" For bullets up to 120 gr. and VLD under 100 gr. - 12" for bullets up to 85gr. - 13"* for bullets up to 75gr. - 14"* for bullets up to 70gr. - 14"* Ratchet rifled 4 groove - 15"* Special for bullets up to 70gr. If you have the 12" good luck. Don't have any data. Try 6-06 or 6-284 and work up from there. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

If you don't find any 6-06 or 6-284 data 240wby data should put you in the ball park. Start safe and work up. | |||

Thanks to all for the reply. I've used 240 wby data for my 6mm-284 and other 6mm-06AI rifles, however, they had faster twist 1-9 and 1-10 and could shoot 100 grain bullets very accurately. I'll use some 55 grain Nosler's with the 240 whby data and work up from there. The rifle will be a bench toy unless I get wheels for it. Thanks again. | |||

Al-I've done a fair bit of work with the 6/06 (not the AI version), and if it were me trying to make those 100's fly I'd first try R25, then R22 and then finally H4831sc. Good luck Dober | |||

 In the mid 60s my 6mmx.270IMP used up a lot of 4831 with great results. Must addmitt the barrel had a faster twist .  rogerOld age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone.. | |||

Hi Mark, good to hear from you. I had some problems with the old ticker, but I'm back on the horse now and riding hard. Just getting ready to head to India for work for a few weeks. Had a cold winter here so far, how's things around Bozeman? - dan "Intellectual truth is eternally one: moral or sentimental truth is a geographic and chronological accident that varies with the individual" R.F.

I am using RL 25 with 100g bullets in my smm-06AI with great results. I will have to look at the exact load. I killed several deer with this load last year.
