6mm 103 eldx 6cm load data

[Jamie]

Had a box given to me. Anyone load these? Start jumping or is there some vudoo magic to get these to shoot?


Cheers

they'll shoot fine off the lands, I use H4350

I should of said that is the powder I have and use. Lapua brass 1-7.5 twist

Not much vudoo with the 6cm, something in the 4350 to 4831 range for powder, fill the case and top it with a 100gr+ bullet, pretty easy to load for.
Lightest I tried was 87gr Hornady BTHP, and they even shot well with 4064.
I'm using 1/8 twist, settled on the Nosler 105gr RDF, still playing between IMR4350 & 4831 for powder.

105 Barnes MB shoot very well in a friends 7.7 twist Benchmark, he's jumping them .050 off the lands (Alpha brass / H4831sc)

In my 6cm (7.7t Proof) I'm shooting the 112gr Barnes MB w/ RL26, Alpha brass too. .090 jump and have shot the load to 1000y with very good accuracy

Back to the 103 ELDx, I checked my load notes and I'm .080 off the lands

Only tried those once in 7mm...the 171gr version, price was great, results were not so great, still have 3/4 of the box. Never bought them for any other cal after that.
161gr ELDM is what I settled on for my 7mm.
