    6XC Loads?

    Hey fullas - anyone got a recipe/range of safe loads for 6XC?
    There is nothing in the ADI manual I have?

    I'm going to be trying a couple of loads using W760 and 95gn Targex next week and can let you know how it goes.
    Apparently H4350/AR2209 is what is regularly used overseas so anything round that burn rate should be a good place to start.
    I'm only using w760 because I use it in the .243 so it's in the cupboard.

    @Nickoli Finally had a chance to try the loads using the 95gr Targex and W760.
    42gns was giving 3100fps, the 41.5 was shooting better though. However the projectiles few set too far forward so will need to revisit the tests next week after setting the projectiles back a bit.

    Update:
    Tried out loads from 40gn to 43 grains of Win760 with the projectiles set back a smidgen more to solve the sticking issue.
    40gn giving 2950fps, 41gn giving 2995fps,42gn is giving almost exactly 3100fps, 43gn is 3100fps.
    No signs of pressure on any cases.
    I will be settling on the 42gn load.
