71gr shock hammer in 6mm arc

I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for some kind of starting point. Anyone have any ideas?

I have no idea what powders you have to work with but Hodgdon has quite a bit of data for the cartridge. Look at the 70g data and use those start loads to work up from.

Hornady lists a bunch of powders for 66-75gr bullets. Use it as a reference.

Hey sir, I'm looking at my hornady reloading manual, as suggested by @Zen Archery, (one of my favorite youtube channels ever), and they have bullets in 65gr and 75gr. Gentlemen, because the powders they perform best with are different, I must ask, does the mono typically perform more like a bullet with similar B.C., or more like a bullet with similar length? In short, would you suggest a powder recommended for the 65gr or the 75gr for a 71gr shock hammer? I realize the answer to this will likely be an educated guess, but I'd trust your wisdom over my dice roll. Thank you.

That link that I posted has data from Hodgdon for 70g bullet that will line up pretty nicely. You might find it to be mild and need to push it a bit. Their start load will be a good mild start load to work up from.
