The 6UM

[Dhughes]

What is your load for the 95. I am getting a 18” 6-saum done for the 90 grain game changer and would like a idea of what powders are going to be best
Thanks

I’m running reloader 26.

Maybe I missed it, but has anyone ran the Hornady 80gr ELD-VT in the 6UM?

That makes 2 of us!

Probably not. What is the point? It would be functionally equivalent to the 62gr ELD-VT from a 22CM.

More knock down thermal hunting is my thought, I did find Dhughes post of 3750 with them out of a 20" which puts them right there with my 22CM with 53gr vmax's.

Knockdown there's the fn dumb word again. You want knockdown? Get a 500 Jeffery, it has knock down on both ends!

If you do, a capacity-to-bore ratio its a little better than a 28 Nosler. SO if I am really nice to it, I think I can get 800 rounds or better.

I've been working off my own spreadsheet for this (based on cubic inches of case capacity, kind of a PITA) and was curious how you did your math -- specifically the Reference column.

thanks in advance...
