I had good results with RL16 in my 6CM. Went up to 42gr without any pressure in Lapua SRP brass, either Fed 205’s or CCI450’s and Berger 105’s.
Settled on 39.5gr for an easy 2950fps from a 26” barrel

Ive just loaded up some ttsx 80 gr and some H Interbond 85gr with 2208. For close tight bush hunting with/for my daughter.
I'll let you know the velocities when I shoot them. Ive got precious few of each so there wont be any real load development besides a 4 shot pressure ladder, which will also indicate the poi vs my 103gr load.
What happened about this @Ryan_Songhurst? Did you go for it?
Yes it's being put together at the momentQuote:

No pressure in my rusty old rem700 action. Proof steel barrel. Kills exceptionally well, fueled mostly by the ease of putting bullets exactly where you want
It shot those 80gr ttsx and 85gr interbonds in my 18.75" 6mm creedmoor.
I clearly loved the ttsx but really threw those interbonds around. There wont be anymore "groups shot" as the rest are just for bush hunting once i load them up. Both shot quite different poi vs my main 103gr eldx load.

From my load bible:

That is from a Howa 22 inch varmint contour barrel.
I recently had this rifle/load out again for the first time in a few years, and was delighted to remind myself of its ability. Anything from goat to red stag is in serious trouble, out to surprisingly long range. Don’t know how but I found an accuracy sweet spot with this rifle by chance and geez it’s a laser alright. Love the cartridge, it’s been very good to me.
Shoots pretty good with load from my last commentAttachment 277389
How has your 6CM been @Ryan_Songhurst? I am interested in putting one togetherQuote:

Mine is just a Howa Superlight rebarreled with a 1:8 trueflight that was contoured to match the original superlight barrel and finished at 18"Quote:
