Sierra 116 TMK Load Data

[43.6N]

Getting ready to load up some for my 6cm, new 19" barrel. Using h4350 in some alpha brass. Hodgdon load data has 115 gr bullet with starting point of 36.8, seem like a good place to start working up from?

As a point of reference, 6GT, 116tmk, I settled in between 36 and 37gr H4350. So I think you’d be perfectly safe starting a little higher up.

Thanks, might start around 38 then. Seems like people are finding pressure around 40 ish.

Save you at least a little powder

The pressure ladder I loaded and am shooting tomorrow with the same components is 38, 39, 39.5, 40, 40.5, 41.

Most the similar load data I found showed a max load of roughly 40.5. I don't think 37 is a bad starting point either but wouldn't start any lower.
