6X45/6-223 Need for speed...
Need for speed... yes, I know, get a bigger cartridge... barring that...
Rang the crap out of rams this weekend... knew I would but have to hit them first.
Using Benchmark powder, 105 VLD Berger target, 26" barrel, getting 2600fps. sub - MOA at 500.
Need a bit more speed... 3031 shows to run a little faster in the load data I can find.
Anyone load it and any other suggestions other then get a bigger cartridge (this thing shoots sweet with less recoil then my 357 lever guns)
I am thinking 6TCU but would rather stay cheap working on the load.

You need a bigger bullet also. Try a Sierra 110 Gr MK.

8tw barrel. I will probably have to stay below 110gr to stabilize. I am going to play with it. Sweet shooting with 68gr @ 2800. C-T are fun… no recoil. Going to play with powder and bullet selection for Rams. This weekend was 50% hit to knockdown. If I can get that up to 75% I’m good. No illusions of winning Nationals or even state match, so comfort and ease of loading/components is were I’m at.

Ground chicken knuckles applied to your bullets during a full moon next to the crossroads by the graveyard while reciting the Lord's Prayer backwards may work for you.....
Probably not.
