LT-30 in 6mmBR??

[Randy Tidwell]

Hey guys, Anyone have any experience using LT-30 in a 6BR with 68-70 grain bullets?

I shoot a fast twist 6BR in a Stiller Actioned XP style pistol for Silo.

For the short range chickens, I have been shooting LT-32, down to about a half pound.
And like everyone, can't find the powders I want/need.

According to Accurate, it is Optimized for the 30BR.

Thinking about ordering a couple pounds to try.

Sounds like something Ernie might have some insights on.

Nice Rig!
If you can find, try Varget and H-4895

I can't speak of br loads, but I do have a pound for 6.8spc loads. 6.5gren and 6.8spc for possible lt30 and maybe lt32.

 

[Randy Tidwell]

I have plenty of IMR 4895, very low on Varget.

I will be heading to the range again on Monday, will try some 4895.

I would love to find a supply of LT32

If I find any, I'll let you know. Plenty of 30, but no 32 so far.

That is why I was asking, lots of LT30 around, but no 32.

If it is not being bought up, its performance is questionable.

In the old days of powder under $20, no big deal, just buy it. If it doesn't work, oh well.

We all have partial cans of powder that did not perform to our expectations.

But paying $40 a pound and hazmat fees, hard to justify these days.

 

[ARlife4me]

Are you trying for velocity increase? H322 might be of interest or Acc 2015?

 

[Randy Tidwell]

Not too concerned about vel, availability is the issue. I have N133. That's close to H322, don't have any 2015 or 333.

4166 worth a look too
