6.8spc ammo reloading suggestions needed

[Solus]

Hi Im new at reloading the 6.8spc and rifle reloading in general. Any advice is welcome and considered. So I want to start reloading 6.8spc I have barnes tsx and hornady bthp/wc bullets to start off with, but I dont have a formula for reloading or the type of primers I should buy. Im assuming small rifle primers. All my fellow calguns members who reload 6.8spc please help out.

First of all you need to figure out the twist rate on your barrel. Pressure signs will show up earlier on 1:9 or 1:10 than 1:11 or 1:12. Obviously, your magazine will dictate the longest OAL of your round. From what I've loaded so far, the 6.8 is a very accurate round that doesn't seem to be too picky with the different type of powders and primers (at least from what I've loaded so far) YMMV. Both of my barrels are from ARP so that may have something to do with it. Also double check your brass for large or small primer pockets.

Other than that, everything else is just the fundamentals. Trimming, cleaning and uniforming the primer pocket and flash hole, seating the primers properly, double check powder levels, etc. Alittle more work than pistol ammo but well worth the effort.

well it is a 1:11 twist stag barrel. Any powder you recommend?

Get a reloading manual and follow the recipe. Start there.
