6.8SPC Powder?

[OilyPablo]

I can't decide which 6.8SPC rifle powder I should choose. Any recommendations?

Benchmark looks like it works for multiple bullet weights. New to rifle reloading so I am open minded, unfamiliar with rifle powders and big eyed at the choices.

When I was loading 6.8 SPC, AA2200 was the magic powder for top velocities for 100 gr - 120 gr bullets. Im not sure if its still the undisputed king of 6.8 powders, but it probably wouldnt be a bad place to start.

Reloaders I know get the best results with IMR4198 and RL-7. Try Lil'Gun with light bullets.

I will check those out. Thanks!

6.8SPC Powders

H4198, H322, X-Terminator, RE10X, AA1680 all work great in the 6.8. I've used IMR and H4198, H322 for 90-110 grain.
Some work better with the 90 grain loads, some better in the 115 grain SMK's and up. Too many variables to list but one of these (or more) should get you started.
BTW... There are some great threads and reloading stickies over on 68forums.

Hope this helps...

2200 still best all round especially for 110g and up. RE7 for everything under 100.

h322

H322 on below 110gr Pro Hunter works great

I found Benchmark and 2200, so I ordered those to start. 1# of each. Of course, next go around I will try 2 other suggestions. Thanks!
