Any load data out there for 90 gr Nossler E-tip in the 6mm ARC? Bolt gun or gasser?

Looking to start load work up in the 6mm ARC with the Nosler 90 GR E-tip. Thought Id reach out & see if others have given the long all copper bullet a try in the 6mm ARC.

So would like to share experience or just thoughts on the 90 E tip in the 6mm ARC. One of my bigger questions is where does velocity need to be for a minimum impact velocity for reliable expansion?

I would use this 100gr data for starting loads in a bolt gun

Ended up using Hornady 90 gr GMX data & found velocity to be extremely similar. Need to back off roughly 1 grain of propellant to achieve book velocities. This backing off 1 grain, is typical for this shooters 5 groove barrel by Pacnor.
