Making the jump from HH to AH

[Seabeeken]

Going to try 69AH in the new 6XC. I welcome any advice in loading them. thanks

I'm sure others will chime in who have more expertise.

For a given weight, look at load data for similar weight bullet. Pick a powder that gives quite a bit less case fill and start a ladder. If you run out of case capacity and want more velocity, go to a faster burning powder.

If you want top end velocity, choose a powder with higher energy content. Examples would be RL17 (over RL16), Varget, RL26, etc.

Iget great accuracy with fast burning powders with HH. Looking forward to trying them. Thx

Gonna try TAC and IMR-8208. Talked to a guy about the absolute hammers and he says the design are the same as bore rider shells in the old naval rifles. He had some interesting insight.
