Lee Navy Loads

[yonderin]

Hi. Looking for reloading recipes for .236 USN/6mm USN/6mm Lee ( whichever name you want to use).

Have found no info so far except mention of inital loading (Rifleite) which I can't determine a comparable modern powder for.

Thanks for any help.

I had an article on the 6mm LN and they used the 105 gr RN bullet and .220 Swift brass.Don't have any recipes........Harold

I'm currently using .220 swift brass with what seems to be a ~110gr gas checked Lyman design. Powder is around 8gr of Unique.
Don't yet have the dies so hand seating bullets and no playing with jacketed or higher power loads.

From 11th Edition Cartridges of the World.....jacketed loads....100gr SP/IMR4895-34gr/2680fps...........112grSP /IMR3031-30gr/2650fps....[Ackley]......112gr/IMR4895-34gr/2670fps....................75grSP/IMR3031-37gr/3300fps [Ackley]..........cast 95gr /Unique-5gr1200fps
factory load was 112gr at 2560fps................use at own risk.........hope this helps..........I suspect the 105gr RN bullet would be the best copy of the original bullet..Harold
