Bolt Action 6.8SPC

[Good Cheer]

Anyone experimented with cast in the bolt action 6.8SPC rifles that came out a few years ago?

I built a 6.8spc on a Remington 700 action broughton 5r barrel and experimented with it in jacket was accurate. Nothing special but the round performed good, I would expect it to shoot cast well once you worked up a load for cast. Barrel is in my rack, might have to put it back on and try cast.

Not in a bolt gun but I've had good success with H322 and H4198 with an NOE 279-124 . The 1-10 twist let me get 2200 in a 20" rifle gas and 2075 in a 16" carbine gas . The bolt gun is a 7×6.8 and with a paper patched 27-130 FN it ran 2200 at 141 gr . Probably hot loads I went on up past 2400 but blew primer pockets , I'd guess around 72-75kpsi so don't be me . 1.5" groups were the norm for the rifle . 1-8.5 twist and 2200 fps ..... I felt good about .
