6.8 western data

[James Murphy]

Anybody got any tried and trusted load data on the ner 6.8 western, I'd love to hear it!

 

[ARlife4me]

Published or personal on hand proven data?

 

[James Murphy]

Either would be fine. I've found a few things, buy anything helps!

 

[ARlife4me]

Hodgdon site is the only 1 I can think of that list data for it, but there should be a few others. If I find some I'll post it.

 

[ARlife4me]

Barnes shows only 1 load for it.

 

[ARlife4me]

Not much

Being a virtual twin to the wsm should make loading easy.

Three is three very good sources of information for 6.8 Western loads-Hodgdon's web site, Hodgdon annual manuals 2022&2023.

I have had good luck with 170 Bergers using H1000 and Staball HD.Both powders shot this bullet 1/2 to 3/4 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yds.

Wish I could find 170 Bergers!

I found them at Grafs some time ago. They sure do shoot great.
