Thread: Powder for 6.5 06 and 140gr projectile

without going right back and seeing what youve done (or it may cloud what Im about to type) when I was trying to chase velocity in the poohseventy (before I say the light) it was interesting as heck to look at load data.....loads for hogdgon 4831 were usually up to 2 grns more than for AR 2213/2213sc its a push to fit a top load into a case.with 130 grn projectiles,you cant poke enough in to go over the top with 110s,its perfect for 150-170grn loads. MY rifle happily sits 2grns ABOVE book max...long throat and loose bore...
2208 on paper is better for lighter projectiles
now I dont own/use or have a use for a cronicgraph..... the sub 400 yard shooting I do means its not a big deal.
for nearly 20 years I used loads that were well below max as they shot well......I shot well with them as didnt get booted around,since fitting suppressors to all my rifles the powder levels have crept back up and the old tart still poked pills into 1" groups if I do my part...not bad considering Ive had her used and abused her for 30 years now.
