I have a 6mm Remington rifle that I am getting ready to start loading for. I am going to use the Barnes 80gr TTSX bullet and want to use Varget powder. I can't find any data for this combo anywhere. I am going to have to start from scratch and find a load. Being that the copper Barnes bullet is longer than a comparable lead core bullet, what data should I be looking at?
I am thinking I should look at 100gr bullet data (roughly the same length) and start low and work my way up. The reason I am thinking this is that with the bullets being similar in length, the case capacities will be the same and then the pressure should be similar.
Does anyone out there have any experience with this or any ideas?
Thanks
Thomas
