This what i use for both my 1/11 6.8's as a starting point. It will get you in the ball park, the rest is trial and error.Originally Posted by Texashoghunter
Next time you go to the range make some money. Just catch or retrieve your 6.8 brass and sell it.

does any one know any buisness in the D/FW area that stocks Accurate 2200
sjb67, I've never been able to find any. I finally waited until I could make a large order and got a bunch of powder from an online vendor.
thank you sir. i ordered some yesterday. kinda funny but my first car was a 70 Plymouth Duster.
EWP, I'm starting to reload and I've chosen the 95gr TTSX. My rifle has a 1/11 spc-II barrel. What exactly does that mean in regards to how I am supposed to load? Sorry for the noob question.
EWP is no longer with us, he was banned quite some time ago. If your new to reloading i suggest picking up the book "ABC's of Reloading" what kind of powder do you plan to use?.
Like Hillbilly said, EWP is long gone. As for the 95 grain Barnes bullet, start with 29.0 grains of A2200 and work up slowly until you start seeing pressure signs (e.g., swipes) or you run out of room in the case with the bullet seated 2.295" OAL or so. For my Hornady cases, that point is reached at 29.6 grains, delivering about 2840 fps from a 16" barrel with SD of 10 or less. Accuracy is only fair in my barrel, but some other shooters do much better. Do not try to compress this powder, its too dense. That's when pressures start to spike, IMO. Hope that helps. - CW
