[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2472668, member: 115658"] I also have a 6mm AI. Mine is a 26", 10 twist, #5 McGowen 5R on a Ruger M77 MKII. I shoot nothing but 87 VMaxes. I have RL16 (46.5), IMR 4831 (49.0), & SW4350 (47.0) loads but am working on a load using 4000MR, R-S Hunter or StaBall. I have made 6mm AI brass from 7X57 PPU brass, the first step being necking down to 6.5 using an old generic 6.5 Hornady neck size die, 6mm Rem die with no expander, then COW fire forming, neck turning, & trimming. I use a shortened shell holder that allows chambering with a crush fit (can't chamber with un-modified shell holder), to COW FF. Hot temps of over 90 F got me into RL16, Staball might work out. I have had excessive pressures with H414/W760 on hot days with loads worked up a 65-70 F. StaBall is somewhat avail & I hope it works out - StaBall is touted for .270 Win loads. [/QUOTE]
