Any recipes for 6.8

[Gallows]

I did a quick search on google and skimmed through some of the pages in this section but didn't come up with much. I really want to start shooting this caliber but reloading would be the only way I could do it without hurting my wallet.

Anyone have any reliable recipes for this? Nothing hot. Just some standard loads.

There's a 6.8 forum somewhere out there on the net. When I had my 6.8 I got alot of good advice and recipes from them. I'd give you my data but my chamber was the older chamber and pressures and data wouldn't be comparable to the SPC II chamber and slower rates of twist.

I saw that forum but the one post I looked at said it was older data and to use at my own risk basically. I'll go back over there and see what I can dig up.

Is there not a standard load for the 6.8?

Anyone?

I just use the powder manufacture's recommend loads.

This is the load I use for 110 grainers, in a 1:11 SPCII upper

Bullet Weight (Gr.) Manufacturer Powder Bullet Diam. C.O.L. Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure
110 GR. HDY V-MAX Hodgdon H335 .277" 2.260" 27.0 2487 41,700 PSI 29.5 2694 53,600 PSI

Ok I looked up that table and two of the acronyms threw me off. What is V-Max and BAR X. I'm familiar with the other too.

that's the make and model of the bullet. v-max is made by hornady and bar x stands for Barnes tsx?

Ok that makes more sense, haha.
