[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2266173, member: 115658"] Not a bolt action. I would use a powder like 4064 at moderate pressure levels to avoid damage to action bars & cam parts from excessive impulse forces caused by high pressure at gas port with slow burning powders. I would guess the gas port is 8-10 inches out from back end of barrel. Same powder recommendations for M1 Garand might be applicable. It's a semi auto designed to shoot a bunch of bullets quick. The plastic bullet tips might get bashed up or cause hang-ups. I would prefer hollow points. The 6mm Rem has a long neck & adequate neck tension should be enough to hold bullets. The Woodsmaster 6mm might have a 12 twist limiting bullets to 90 grains cup & core length or less; best to measure twist rate. [/QUOTE]
