Praying to the Plumbous Calf (6mm Rem, 245946, Unique)

[ohland]

As I reverently chanted the songs of praise from the Lyman Reloading Handbook #44, the familiar chapter and verse extolling the 6mm Rem and cast boolits came under my lightly caressing touch (We are NOT worthy!).

85 Grain Cast (w/Gas Check) Bullet 245496 (#2 Alloy)
Unique 9.0 / 1736 fps 12.0 2024 fps

Genuflecting before the RCBS 243-095-SP, I was inspired by the following verse:

95 Grain Cast Bullet (w/Gas Check) Bullet 245497 (#2 Alloy)
Unique 8.0 / 1545 fps 11.0 / 1860 fps

For completeness-

100 Grain Cast Bullet (w/Gas Check) Bullet 245498 (#2 Alloy)
Unique 7.0 / 1408 fps 10.0 1730 fps

:awesome:

Don't overlook H4227 & IMR Trail Boss for light accurate loads. Ideal 245495 100gr. before adding G.C., range scrap (med. hard). 10gr. either powder in an 1895 Winchester 6mm Lee-Navy straight-pull sporting rifle.

Trying to go "Unique". I do have an assortment of IMR powders, just have an odd urge to go it with Unique, A.K.A. "Flaming Dirt". So far, the 7-30 Waters is fairly clean after 60 rounds.
