I did an extensive search on all the different sites for 6.8 loading data. That includes going thru the 120 + pages of the three 6.8 info threads. That was painful. Sorry for the watermarks. Updates might not have them. You can still readily see all the data under them as it is inversed b & w. The updated ones might be minus the water marks. Hope this is helpful. This will be add to the "facts and info chart" sticky when I get it updated, revamped with everything in charts, and reorganized. If you guys have more load data that isn't up there please post it. I will update it again when we have a good amount more. I need bullet / powder / primer / OAL of round barrel / description / velocity temperature. Even if you have one of the loads posted but used a different barrel(maker, twist, chamber,length) or at a very different temp, we could still use it. Others that have the same config will know what to expect from their config. It is organized in the following order: bullet, powder by burn rate fast to slow, charge size, barrel length. 6.8 SPC Hand Load Data Chart **        Tim |

Tim, Great Chart but there is one error. My load for 28.0gr of H322 and the 115gr Rem FMJ should read a MV of 2408 not 2480. In the Reloading Resources page there was a typo (24080fps) the 2nd zero was the typo). Frankly I'm surprised nobody mentioned it - a bullet traveling at over 24,000 fps would be a major breakthrough

Forest, I'll fix it on the xls spreadsheet and post it on the next update or when I combine it into the Facts Post. I actual entered it as you had it posted the when I was review them I saw it and took my best guess at which 0 belonged. As you can see I chose the more optimistic one. All, Anyone that would like a copy of the actual excel spreadsheet, for there own, please PM me with the request and your email address and I will send it to you. This way you will have it and able to update or add it into your own programs as you find the need. Better yet if someone has a way to host the file consistently ( I hate broken links) It could then be linked here and people could download it at their leisure. Tim |
There isn't one because no one posted one that could be used. It might have been posted as you have done here, but I can't really use that as there are more things that need to be provided for it to be used properly. Brass used makes a difference because they hold different volumes and use different sized primers. Barrel, because the chambers and twist rates effect things. Primer, because many use large and small. Also some use military , magnums or just regular. There is also match primers. The velocity is ideal as it allows people to know what performance they can expect and it ties back to the barrel length and specs. Temp is handy as we can then know if its temp sensitive or what to expect in other temperatures. If anyone has loads with this type of data please post it and I will add. It is in everyones best interest to get as much data up here as possible as it will allow people to see the real world performance of this round and the many many choices they have in loading it. I know there a good many that shoot this round that reload, as I have seen their posts on here. I know many of you have found your pet loads now and have no reason to experiment as much as you originally did. If you have your data still from when you did do all the testing while you were trying to find your pet load please post it or send me a PM and email it to me so I can add this data to the list. It will help people trying to do the same thing as they will see the results of the combos. Thanks Tim |
Tim I'd like a copy of the 6.8 Lead Data, Thanks Doug |
