I loaded various loads to test for an upcoming long range shooting class i'm taking. I tested various powders, COL, and settled on a load that gave me an inch group at 250 yards a few days ago.
I finally chronographed the rounds today, and was a bit surprised: 3204 and 3206 ft/sec.
The gun Model 700 VLS 6mm Rem (26" bull barrel)
The load: 44 grains of H4350 with 105 gr Hornady amax bullet.
COL is 2.852" (Hornady book recommends 2.810")
This is just over max, but the ft/s is much higher than everything i've read. Hogdgon website says H4350 max is 43.5 gr @ 3,029 ft/s and max IMR4350 is 43.8 @ 3,027 ft/s from a 24" barrel.
I've got 5 days to settle on a load and make 200 rounds for the class.....ugh. Is anyone else getting this velocity from a 6mm Rem with a 105 gr bullet?
