Anybody using it? Curious what powders/bullets guys are using and what kinda velocity your seeing.

Buddy of mine did a 9tw, 90tgk with a stout load of rl26 behind it, 3830fps shoot sub half minute. Another friend of mine just built a 30" 10tw, his fireforming load of 56gr rl26 with 87vamx is going 3800. I predict he'll be over 4k with full pressure loads. I built a 24" 6saum. Only have 140 rounds down the pipe, but 115dtacs shoot tight at 3230fps with Rl23. I'll be jumping up to RL26 and N570 as I want to be over 3300fps and not into pressure.

I have a 6 PRC and just ordered a custom 6 PRC Reamer for the 108 ELDM's.
I think it's a nice & simple little 6mm wildcat. Out of a 24" barrel you can shoot the 105 hybrids at 3300 and 108 ELDM's at 3260.
I'm currently using 4831 SC, but it's not ideal for speed. Going to probably switch to Retumbo pretty soon!
I killed a nice buck with a 108 ELDM out of it. Frontal shot at 180 yards. He didn't go but maybe 5 steps.
I may be selling it soon. To do another full 6 PRC build lol.
