Thread: 6.5x68 Load Data

Alrighty trendsetters, who out there has some fancy fandangled computer thingie that can supply me with some sensible load data for the delightful RWS 6.5x68...

I have this development coming along so want to see what I can achieve with it, once I have a sensible starting point.

I have RWS brass and will primarily run Nosler LRAB in 129g and 142g with perhaps a the RWS 127g KS and 140g DK pills as well.

Any feedback assistance will be greatly appreciated, might even have a small tipple in return.

Cheers Craig

ADI website has AR2213SC as their selected powder for this cartridge.
Most of the bullet weights you've mentioned are there, but even ADI has very little information.

Nick Harvey has it in his book it looks like its a direct copy of the ADI data. He does make the comment that load data for the .264 Win Mag can be substituted.

Have fun

Chur...

If you have a 24" barrel Quickload says you'l get close to 3200 fps with the likes of 2218 and a 142, and a bit over 3300 with the 129's with 2218 or N570. I'd confidently predict you'll be rebarreling pretty regularly if you try and get above these velocities

Thanks chaps, running a 22" 1:8 twist, not going for super hot, and not going to be continuously popping pills, might only get one shot in trip, going to be my lightweight semi long range, hoping 800m

Have seen the ADI book, and found a little here and there... It's be a slow work up.

I have heard .264WM is very similar so will look at it.

Will look at some options on ADI 2225, H4350, and if I can find any R 905 that'll be a go based on some RWS info.

Ah well a good little project anyway, can't wait for the carbon stock to be finished.

But hey, anymore is great....

Hi i am running 140 gn amax in mine doing 3020 fps out oh a 26 inch barrel using some H4831 that a mate had sitting arround
PM me if you want to ask any questions

@Double Shot, we need photos!
