[QUOTE="LRSickle, post: 1203964, member: 18167"] This is the first time I've ever used this powder for anything so I went to Vihtavori website to see if it was a suggested powder for a 6mm. I picked a load just above the minimum load. I also suspect the brass now. When I close the bolt I feel a slight crush-fit. When using minimum loads to fireform instead of COW, I usually seat the bullet into the lands to help push the case base back against the bolt face. This time I seated them at the lands because of the slight crush I felt when I closed the bolt. I would rather use COW. It's easy, safe, and easy on my brass. Next time I fly into Kodiak I'll try to find some Bullseye. [/QUOTE]
