6mm-225 need help
I have a TC Contender carbine in 6mm-225 and need help with loads for 100gr bullets using H4350 and Varget.
I appreciate any help you can offer!
Thx

How close is that cartridge to SSK's 6mmJDJ or 6mmJDJ #2?

With H4350 at 100% fill, around 2790 fps. 47,000- 48,000 psi.

With Varget at 100% fill, around 3000 fps. over 62,000 psi

Normal working pressure for the 225 Winchester case is 56,565 psi.

Seating depth .320
COAL 2.650 with 25 degree shoulder
barrel length 24 inches

As far as I know it is the same as a 6mm jdj. The #2 is probably an improved version.

It sounds like I can use as much H4350 as I can fit in the case?

Thanks for the help.

Wasn't the 225 Winchester derived from the 6mm Lee Navy?

The .220 Swift was derived from the 6mm Lee Navy.

Should be very, very close to the EABco line of wildcats.
